Daniel Madzimbamuto

Daniel Nyamayaro Madzimbamuto (1929–1999) was a Southern Rhodesian activist who became a Zimbabwean politician and administrator.

[1] He met Stella Nkolombe, who would become his wife, in Durban, which he was visiting as a publicity officer for Boswell Wilkie Circus.

She lost in Rhodesian court, and though she won in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1968, Madzimbamuto was not released until 1974.

[3] They had other children during this period, whose names reflect their parents' growing desperation: Chipo ("Gift"), Tambudzai ("They are troubling us") and Tafirenyika ("We are dying for the country").

He married Violet Lana Chungu Tawana during this period, giving birth to the first of three children, girl Sarah named after his grandmother, in 1978.
