Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press | Series/Report no.: | Dictionary of African Biography, Edited by Emmanuel K. Akyeampong and Henry Louis Gates, Jr; | Abstract: | Ndlovu, Masotsha (1890-1982), pioneer trade unionist and nationalist politician in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, was born on the eve of colonial rule in 1890 at Saba village, in the Thekwane area of Matabeleland.He was the first child of Nthoyiwa Ndlovu and his second wife, Bantema. Ndlovu spent his teens alternating between working in the fields, hunting and herding cattle. In 1910 he moved to the burgeoning city of Bulawayo, where he worked at Thomas Meikles Departmental Store as a ‘post boy'. Realizing that limited education was a handicap in the industrial milieu prompted Ndlovu to migrate to South Africa in 1919 in pursuit of Western education. He settled in Cape Town where he worked and studied. He passed his standard six and proceeded to do an English course at matriculation level with the International Correspondence College. | URI: | http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780195382075.001.0001/acref-9780195382075-e-1514?rskey=LdIIYy&result=1 | ISBN: | 13: 9780195382075 |
