The rest is as they say history- He conquered the Tavara and established an offshoot of the Great Zimbabwe culture and empire…

There is even an interesting myth involving salt that is told about the founding of the Mutapa empire- all created to hide the fact that there was a bit of incest involved… Adding a pinch of salt to history now and again is a favourite human pasttime.

Ha, but you see munyu neZimbabwe have got bonds stretching back in time
