"The great African conqueror Mzilikazi, the Great Road, founded the Matabele dynasty and a legend..But unlike many tribal conquerors who lived by the sword, Mzilikazi was revered by his people and was on terms of close friendship with missionaries, explorers and tradrs.

From 1964 to 1966 he was a Rhodesian government official and censor. He fanatically supported apartheid in South Africa. Benson would author many books and essays alleging a Jewish world conspiracy. He wrote articles for magazines abroad, such as Western Destiny, The Journal of Historical Review, and The Spotlight. In 1966, he became co-editor of the American magazine The American Mercury as it merged with two Nazi papers to adopt an explicitly pro-Nazi/anti-semitic/white supremacy stance. He produced a newsletter, Behind the News, and in the 1970s founded a fascist group called the National Forum, and would head the South African chapter of the World Anti-Communist League.(wiki).

Richard Nicklin Hall (1852-1914) was appointed as Curator of the Great Zimbabwe site and participated in the 1902 Great Zimbabwe Excavation. Hall declared that he wished to free the site “from the filth and decadence of the Kaffir occupation”, deliberately removing anything that might link the site with the African peoples and clearing some twelve feet (1.8 m) of deposits in an operation that was described by a visiting archaeologist as “reckless blundering… worse than anything I have ever seen”. As a result, Hall was dismissed from his post." (RhodesianStudyCircle).
