Today I'm driving from home to work in Manchester, UK — but this isn't just another driving vlog.
I'm speaking in Ndebele mixed with English as we travel through the Manchester traffic, discussing UK driving conditions, the daily commute, road etiquette, traffic and what it's like driving in Britain compared with Zimbabwe and South Africa.
I'll also be talking about my recent adventures back in Zimbabwe, including Bulawayo and some of the incredible places I visited during my African trip.
But there's another story I want to revisit — one that connects Manchester directly to Ndebele history.
In Salford, Greater Manchester, lies the grave of Peter Khutshana Lobengula, generally known in Britain as Prince Peter Lobengula. He was buried at Agecroft Cemetery in 1913.
Peter claimed that he was the son of King Lobengula, the Ndebele king and son of Mzilikazi. However, there is no conclusive historical evidence proving that he was actually Lobengula's son.
Despite this, Peter maintained his claim to royal ancestry throughout his life.
I previously visited Salford to find his grave, and in this video I revisit that fascinating story while driving to work.
For me, this isn't simply British history. As someone from Bulawayo and part of the Ndebele community, the story connects directly with the history of the Ndebele people and the wider historical relationship between the Ndebele and Zulu peoples.
Where are you watching from?
What are you driving?
And what is the traffic like where you live?
Let me know in the comments — Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, South Africa 🇿🇦, UK 🇬🇧 or anywhere else in the world.
Catch you on the next one!
