EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a horned rickshaw man in the bustling city of Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), during the 1920s. The man, dressed in traditional attire, proudly sits atop his rickshaw, a powered vehicle that was becoming increasingly popular as a mode of transportation during this era. The rickshaw, with its distinctive design and intricate details, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe, was a thriving hub of activity during the 1920s. The city was known for its vibrant markets, bustling streets, and diverse population. Rickshaws were a common sight on the streets, providing affordable and convenient transportation for locals and visitors alike. The man in this photograph wears a horned headdress, a traditional accessory worn by some Ndebele people, an ethnic group that makes up a significant portion of the population in Bulawayo and the surrounding areas. The headdress is a symbol of their cultural identity and is often worn during ceremonial occasions and festivals. Despite the passage of time, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era. It is a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural traditions that continue to shape the city of Bulawayo and the country of Zimbabwe. The horned rickshaw man, with his proud demeanor and traditional attire, stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Bulawayo and their ability to embrace new technologies while holding onto their cultural heritage.
