Sekuru Kaguvi

The sobriquet "Kaguvi" was a designation given at times those who were said to speak for the traditional Shona supreme deity Mwari.

Some Ndebele historians say that the form "Kaguvi" is the anglicised rendering of his name by Europeans,[citation needed] and that his real name was "Kakubi Ncube", although Kaguvi was not an ethnic Ndebele.

Gumboreshumba (meaning: "lion's paw"), lived in Chikwaka's village by Goromonzi Hill, Zimbabwe.

It is alleged that Gumboreshumba Kaguvi was known as a source of good luck in hunting and that he was able to speak to trees and rocks.

When the rebellion collapsed, he was charged with the murder of an African policeman called 'Charlie', whom he had accused of collaborating with the colonial authorities.
