The Matabele Insurrection - A False Alarm in Bulawayo - A Glimpse into the Turmoil of Colonial Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on June 6th, 1896, offers a vivid depiction of the tense atmosphere during the Second Matabele War. In this engraving titled "A false alarm in Bulawayo, townspeople rushing into Laager" we witness a moment of panic as white settlers frantically seek refuge within an improvised mobile fort known as a laager. The Ndebele people's revolt against the British South Africa Company has plunged Bulawayo into chaos. Besieged and surrounded by Ndebele forces for months, the town's inhabitants have found solace within these defensive walls. As Prior's lens captures their hurried movements, we are transported back to this pivotal period in Zimbabwean history. This image not only serves as a testament to the resilience of those caught up in colonial conflicts but also sheds light on the role of war correspondents like Prior. With his keen eye for detail and dedication to reporting news stories from far-flung corners of empire, he brings us face-to-face with the realities faced by both settlers and indigenous peoples alike. Today, Zimbabwe celebrates this conflict as its First War of Independence—a poignant reminder that struggles for self-determination were not limited to European powers alone. Through this historic photograph, we glimpse both sides' experiences—the fear gripping
