Hwata Dynasty

Three brothers, Shayachimwe, Nyakudya and Gutsa who were of the Shava Museyamwa totem, migrated northwards

from Buhera(Va Hera)in the south of Zimbabwe in late eighteenth century. Between 1760 and 1780, the three brothers

were invited by a relative, Chief Seke who was also of the Shava totem, to settle in the Harava area. Later, Gutsa

was introduced by Seke to Chief Mbare of the Shumba Gurundoro totem, who resided on the modern day city of

Harare, as a useful iron-monger. Chief Mbare settled the three brothers on the Barapata hill. For a while,

Shayachimwe, Gutsa and Nyakudya lived under Chief Mbare, but friction developed. With the implicit backing of Chief

Seke, the Va Hera brothers killed Chief Mbare and took his lands, which stretched to the south of modern day Harare.

These northern Va Hera did not form a single dynasty, but instead formed a confederacy of two units, the Hwata

dynasty founded by Shayachimwe and the Chiweshe dynasty founded by Nyakudyas son Nyangambiri. The Hwata

dynasty became more dominant and stretched from present day Harare, past the Mazoe dam ( Then commonly known

as pagomba)to modern day Glendale and to the heads of the Mazoe, Tateguru and Murowodzi valleys. Gutsa, the

youngest brother, did not form a dynasty of his own. Shayachimwe and Nyangambiri abandoned their praise name of

Museyamwa. Hwata Shayachimwe assumed the new praise name of Mufakose while Chiweshe Nyangambiri assumed

the praise name of Mutenhesanwa. Hwata Shayachimwe established his capital at Barapata Hill on the modern

Mufakose suburb in Harare, which was named after his Chidawo (praise name).Other names that have branches from

Hwata Dnynast include Mavhunga, Garwe, Kanengoni, Chironga,Motsi,Chitsa( under Chief Bushu) Other Shava brances

are:SHAVA is the name of the animal Eland in the Shona language of Zimbabwe.Shava is also used as a major totem

(identiy animal) of the VaHera people,who are descendants of Mbiru,who lived at Gombe Hill in present day

Buhera,South of Zimbabwe.The Va Hera are of the Shona tribe and claim that they came from Guruuswa (1),which has

been identified as an area north of the Zambezi river,perhaps around Uganda and Sudan.Buhera is an English

corruption of the word Vahera,which means the Hera people.The ancestor of the Va Hera was called Mbiru who was

identified by his totem Shava,(the Eland) and which is also known as Nhuka or Mhofuyemukono and Mhukahuru.All

descendants of Mbiru share the same totem of Shava,but some changed to other Chidawo (Praisename shown in

brackets below) over time in order to disguise themselves from their enemies or to allow intermarriages. The Shava

belt includes the following dynasties: Bocha,in the east,in the angle of the Odzi and Save; Marange (Shava Mukonde)

in Buhera (also known as Vahera)on the south bank of the upper Save river,Nyashanu (Shava Museyamwa) dynasty,

Mutekedza (Shava Masarirambi )dynasty to the south of Buhera,Munyaradzi (Shava Wakanonoka) dynasty. West of the

watershed the shava dynasties stretched from the upper Munyati to the Munyati-Mupfure confluence.These incude the

HWATA WARS: 1860 - 1900

The first half of the nineteenth century saw a considerable rise in the prosperity of the Va Hera who settled in the

area around present day Harare between 1760 and 1780. The Hwata dynasty took control of the Shawasha gold fields

and a succession of Hwata rulers, the sons of Shayachimwe, dominated trade with Portuguese from the East. This

prosperity attracted attention, and the Va Hera were raided and defeated by the Ndebele from 1861 to 1864. Hwata

Gwindi was captured by King Lobengula in 1864, and when he was allowed to return, he became a tributary ruler under

King Lobengula of Matabeleland. The Hwata rulers remained subordinated to the Ndbele for over twenty years until the

death of Hwata Gwindi in 1887. Hwata Chiripanyanga, son of Gubangombe and grandson of Shayachimwe, assumed

Hwata Chieftainship in 1892. In 1890, white settlers of British extraction hoisted their flag in the territory of Hwata,

in present day Harare in Zimbabwe. Hwata Chiripanyanga was involved in the Shona and Ndebele uprising against the

foreign invaders between 1896 and 1897. Hwata Chiripanyanga and Charwe (Ambuya Nehanda) led an uprising at

Mazoe where they captured and killed the resident Native Commissioner called Pollard in 1896. Hwata was captured

together with Charwe (Mbuya Nehanda) and executed by the white colonial settlers in 1897. As a consequence of this



defeat Hwata and Chiweshe lost all their lands, stretching from Harare to Nzvimbo. Their subjects were placed under

the rule of other chiefs such as Negomo and Makope. A small section of the Hwata family founded a dynasty at Dande

in Guruve in the Zambezi valley in 1961, but the majority of descendants of Hwata remain scattered in the Chiweshe

communal lands. Some have moved away to find new homes elsewhere. A lot of young men and women from Hwata

and Chiweshe areas joined others in the armed struggle against white rule in Zimbabwe between 1970 and 1980,

which ended with the independence of Zimbabwe on April 18, 1980. Source: Beach, D.N.A Zimbabwe Past, Mambo
