Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Caption reads: The Matabele Revolt -- The Shooting of the Prophet Mlimo. (One of the most exciting incidents in the Matabele war has been the shooting of the "god" Mlimo, the prophet and witch doctor, who was mainly responsible for the insurrection. Sir F. Carrington sent Mr. Burnham, the American scout, and Mr. Armstrong, the Assistant Commissioner for Native Affairs in the Mangwe district, to capture the prophet in his cave in the heart of the Matoppo Hills. They found the Mlimo in his cave, but as the natives were obviously preparing a trap for the white men, it was found impossible to capture the Mlimo alive, so Burnham shot him in the cave.-- London Graphic.) |
