Chimurenga
Chimurenga is a word in the Shona language, meaning "struggle" or "fight for freedom."[1] The Ndebele equivalent - not as widely used since the majority of Zimbabweans are Shona speaking - is Umvukela, meaning "revolutionary struggle" or uprising.
In specific historical terms, it refers to:
1) The Ndebele and Shona insurrections against the British South Africa Company during the late 1890s—the First Chimurenga.
2) The war fought between African nationalist guerrillas and the white supremacist Rhodesian settler-colonial government during the 1960s and 1970s—the Second Chimurenga.
