January 1965 - Lobengula, My Father Baby Usher, Lobengulas

January 1965 - Lobengula, My Father Baby Usher, Lobengulas daughter, sat on animal skins. She was on the verandah of her house on a farm 55 kilometres out of Bulawayo. I am 91 91, I tell you, She told DRUM. Baby was a young girl when the whites arrived. She remembers her father quite well. He was a fat ma, she reports, as almost everybody was in those days. (That was because we didnt eat meat from the Cold Storage then. ) Of earlier day, she remembers the prophecies of drought and of her father dying in flight from white birds that followed the execution of the great wise man Chaminuka.
