This Website will house information relating to the families of the Chinamora clan of the totem Soko Murehwa. The history in here has been compiled using existing knowledge and also derived from other materials previously written by other members of the Chinamora Family of the VaShawasha. The history provided here on the link Our History is in line with what Joshua Chidziva wrote in one of the journals which was luckily retrieved from NADA. This journal was done in the 1950’s.
If there are any variations please feel free to get in touch or comment where appropriate. We are also very keen to have any pictorial evidence of such outstanding men and women who have made our clan a force to recon with in the social order of our country. We encourage your participation and urge you to collect as much more information and history to enrich this site with the hope that future generations will be able to know who they are and be proud to be one of the most respectable clan in Zimbabwe.
There are many families scattered around the Southern African region who are the descendents of the clan and therefore connecting through this medium will keep us together.

Chinamora Chieftainship 
I am somehow linked to the Chinamora clan, I was informed that my family who now reside by Denda in Domboshava were the second half of the Chinamora Dynasty. Due to the events during 1896 my great grandfather was forced to move from the Chishawasha Hills and settle as one fo the first families in the Domboshava area. Before this my ancestors lived in the Chishawasha Hills from before the turn of the century so 1700’s if i am not off with my calculations.
VaaSekuru before passing on left a detailed account of the family history in the 1950’s before he passed away in the early 1960’s. This information was intrusted to his grandson who he instructed to write this information down for future generations to be aware of our role in the grand scheme of things.
I will hopefully be in possession of these books in the next month or so and will be able to contribute another piece of this very important puzzle. A lot of respect and adoration is given to those who have taken time to invest in this website.
Great be the man who values who he is and this starts with us. Our grandfathers failed to record things and we all say are why varungu are good its becuase they document things. Please mukanya ini ndinonzi Chikowore, if you come from Denda thats a very local growth point. This website is for makudo, Soko Murehwa, kakono kemanda mugotsi. Go and hunt all this information about kutendwa kwataiitwa and so forth. We need to document all this. If need be I will be setting a database for all these details. Thank you all those who keep contributing and commenting about who these VaShawasha people were in Zimbabwe. What political stake they used to have and what has happened to it.
Hi, Tafadzwa
Have you managed to get the books?
Thank you for the follow up! My muzukuru has been very busy especially with the elections happening. He is the one who is currently in the possession of them and we are in the process of setting a date for me to go and thoroughly study them. In total they are 30 books I am told.
I was also made aware during this period of time that VaSekuru was involved in the first Chimurenga and his input during that time era. Unfortunately he did not live long enough to see the liberation of our Land and people but I am sure he is happy to know in the after life that his efforts where not in vain.
I have been currently been researching every source i can to find out the history of the People of the Land which is Zimbabwe focusing around the time before the settlers. To see how this ties in with the oral traditions and also the documentation which we have.
Have you got any recommendations? Outside of my schooling and oral traditions from home I dont have much. I am searching for intricate gems of information for us to preserve.
Ahhh tazviona and tafara nekukuzivai, ndisuvacho vanonzi Chirau Mwendamberi vembwa chena. In our region they all know of us by our family name vanaMashinge. By all accounts the first family to settle in this part of Domboshava. My family history tells of how my great grandfather moved the remainder of our family after watching majority of his family being wiped away by the white settlers leaving him as the eldest child to move the women and his younger siblings to then settle paDenda.
My family on my paternal side does not have any love lost with the catholic missionary movement. VaaSekuru vangu was infamous for setting dogs after missionaries and things of such a nature.I am fortunate to have felt the warmth of my great grandmother’s bossom and to have been around my great grandfather on my maternal side who also were residence of the Chishawasha hills.
My family’s personal history tells tales of the latter stages of the development of Zimbabwe during the Chimurenga. I am knowledge via the oral tradition and have managed to put together my family tree that goes back to the early 1600’s. I hope the exercise books (4 in total) will reveal a more indepth history that we can then further expound on the ties to the Chinamora clan.
I would also want that information mkuru ndiriwo chirau wembwachena bt there has been a lot of information mixup zvekuti ndakuita ndichirasika kutadza kuziva kuti ndikubva kupi chaizvo
An interesting read. I am also a Mwendamberi Chirau Wembwachena. I am very much interested in any information you may have on our great ancestors. We are currently in Hurungwe (a few of us) but my father was born in Mashame (where there is another bigger group) but as far as he knows his grandfather settled in Mashame from Zvimba Chief Chirau area where the Mwendamberi Chirau clan have chieftaincy. I have come across a couple of Mwendamberi Chiraus from Domboshava and know that somehow we are the same people but cannot exactly put together the pieces. If you bhave any information of any sort, I will be very grateful as I want to know and pass on the knowledge to my children. Thanks in advance.
I have no idea of Gwenzi Clan except for the little interactions they did with Chinamoras. If I come across anything I will definitely share with you.
I am actually of the Mwendamberi Chirau Wembwachena clan NOT of the Shava Gwenzi clan….
More than happy. I have managed to accumulate a lot of information on who we are and our ancestors and how we fit in the Dzimbahwe structure as this is also in our praise totem.
@William Mudimu We are the same people then.i have an extensive family tree with how to link us to Zvimba and our connection with Sinoia.
I am also nondo mwendamberi, chirau, but i dont know much about my clan, iam from Seke
Enlightening. IAM also from the Chirau clan.I have a family tree history of generations from Zisekuru redu Dyeke Chirau. Pliz let’s share this information. Kindly contact me on my email.or WhatsApp 0772641174
Are you on WhatsApp Chirau? We have a WhatsApp group
We are Chinamoras not Mwendambweri and I have no idea about this lineage.
Aaah well done to you Gwenzi for the work you have done. My intention is exactly the same as yours and I will be grateful with any help I can get. Thank you and God bless.
Hi there i dont know much about my history except that im a shawasha ,my great-grandfather moved from (domboshava?) to seke area, i once asked my grandfather about my family tree, he told me but i didnt ryt it down what i remember is that we belong to the house of nzvere, now my grand father is dead , no one else cares in my family. I would like to know more about the shawasha history
Ricky,
I am still researching and asking our fellow kinsmen to contribute on here about this great people. I am sure if you read the way we spread around Zimbabwe as per only available history written by Chidziva, you will probably have an idea of how you ended up where you are.
Has it been a long time since your family left Domboshava? VaSekuru vangu ndivo vaipa vanhu chinzvimbo chekugara around the Denda region. And on my paternal grandmother’s side varipaChishawasha chaipo.
Contact me l might help0773151283
We can email baba. Calls to Zim are over priced!
This is good work being done here. Its important to preserve our history and heritage. I am a Chirau Mwendamberi, weku Domboshava. In the family that is “ruling” (Sabhuku), kwaMudzimu. Mudzimu is actually our other family name. Its a shame that my parents and grandparents are late, and the family is largely scattered abroad and away from the area. i would have liked to carry out such a family mapping and trace my roots.
If you have anything of the Mudzimu people, ana Mwendamberi Chirau vari muDomboshava, please share. I can relate to most of the names shown on the family tree as my father used to tell me we are related. We also interacted with a lot of them until he passed. i.e. ana Guzha, Ruzvidzo, Chihuri, Chidyausiku, Chikaka etc.
Thank you for the comment hereof. If I can put together anything I will do so. My hope is people like you ould contribute to the information provided here so that we can gro out depleting information about our heritage
Why am I only seeing this now! Is there a way to contact you as I am Chirau Mwendamberi aswell and I am from Domboshava past Denda kwaShumba.
Ini nadir mean wekwaChikowore pamhiri app muchienda kwaMupandira kana muchikuziva Mwendamberi. PaShumba pane hama dzedu dzinonzi anaChirimuzhengeni nanaMarimo vashawasha biyedu ivavo. Ndinotenda nekupfuura/kushanya paDandare revaShawasha
I am a Mwendamberi Chirau Wembwachena now based in Hurungwe but only got there recently and can only trace back our lineage to Mashame area in Gokwe and back to Chief Chirau area in Zvimba. Interesting enough you say Mudzimu is our other family name, my surname is actually Mudimu which could have been a corruption of the name Mudzimu. Would want to know more about the connection between the Mwendamberi Chiraus in Domboshava and the ones in Chirau area under Chief Chirau in Zvimba because thats only as far back I can trace my roots at the moment. Thanks for further engagements.
Greetings. Ah this is interesting i am also Chirau Mwendamberi from Domboshawa. We are from kwaShumba just past Denda.
i still have family links who are still very much alive and will hear of any other family ties Kwana Mudzimu…
I know vaSekuru vedu was supposed to be the first Chirau Mwendamberi to move to Domboshava after the tragedies of 1896 kuChishawasha and was forced out. So he moved and settled kuDomboshava in between 1896 and 1898.
We were told little to noone occupied this area and vaSekuru was the eldest amongst 3 other brothers. It would be good if we also had a continued dialogue about this as the odds of our families not crossing is very minimal.
Okay baba,
Ini ndini Chikowore agere pamhiri paNyaure uko. PaShumba ndomaShops aripedo nekumba. I hope you can bring in some more facts so we can link back to the great times when families were so close
I think we are on a brink of something and glad in each family there are those who carry the torch with such passion and pride.
I hope through our rememberance of past oral tradition we can piece together the Shona clans true unsung history.
Since we have connected it would be nice to see you bringing your own wealth of the culture so that we can document it.
@Lion sorry I have absent on the platform. But I agree,we are closely related. My surname is Bare, tirimuDomboshava padhuze nepaShowground apo. My clan is yanaMudzimu nanaMverechena – takakura tichafambidzana navo. Tisu ana Mwendamberi, Chirau, mvura yadzongo. Vaera nondo. Tisu tinotanga kunwa veshure vanonwa mabvondwe.
I actually have a plackard which has the whole poem. It includes statements – Chirau wembwa chena, akaenda nembwadzake. maita Muguto, makwira zvuru. Maita variMakonde.
This shows our connection with ana Chirau Mwendamberi vekwaZvimba (Makonde) and anaSoko (makwira zvuru). I am eager to learn more and connect with my family
@tecla I follow you on twitter and think we are friends on Facebook. Yes I have a lengthy praise totem naming those after Chirau including Makonde. Also our relation to Chivero and how we link to the founding fathers of Zimbabwe. Wembwa Chena group have their story of how we moved from Zvimba as we have some in Murombedzi, Uzumba and how we are linked to Jeremiah Chirau who are the lot vana Chabvutagondo who are the current chiefs in Zvimba. But more in tune with this site As we are Korekore our military might was in part why we intermarried with Sokos so they don’t have to clash with Mwendamberi of the the Hwata Clan (Shavas) whose proponence to violence was high at that time so by linking families this could be avoided. This has continued as VaMushonga (RIP) of Chishawasha married a Nondo uniting certain families as did my great grandfather VaMashinge married VaMaretekwa who was a Mwenewazvo. My own grandmother is Mwenewazvo Soko Jena from Hwedza thus my interest in the affairs of Chinamora are of interest as affairs relating to events in Chishawasha area often had his pivotal input. Saka quite intertwined these family clans.
Would you be so kind as to share the lengthy praise totem of the Mwendamberi Chiraus with me please. I will be very grateful. My email is wmudimu25@gmail.com.
My surname is also Bare from domboshava from the mudzimu and mberechena clan… I know little about my lineage if you could please assist
My surname is also Bare, from domboshava. Part of the mudzimu, mverechena clan I know little about my lineage, could you please assist
Mwendamberi, I have no idea about your lineage. My apologies.
My name is Morgan Nzvere ( also loosely spelt as Nzwere). We are from Nyava village, the area we settled after we were moved from Chishawasha by the settlers. Our chieftainship is “chief Chinamhora” in Domboshava, and some of our early torch bearers include Sekuru Kaguvi , who also came from Chinamhora village.
The other family names include Tingini, Marembo, Chaitezvi,Shambare, Mhembere, Chinemaringa etc
Anyone interested in knowing more about this great clan can email me on morgan1873@gmail.com
We would appreciate if yu can give us your own account so that people can be informed. i created this forum so that people can connect with their history.
Nyaya dzakadaiso dzinonetsa as i am sure you can appreciate. Many died prior to these supposed election process of the next generation chiefs. Even long after the descendants who still live in the very plains and know the true story were not native of Chishawasha as those who belong if they were not killed they were moved out for not adopting the Jesuits faith of the day.
Now i find it unlikely that what they would share and document after what they had initially done would be of sound value.
I would like to know the history of this great people. Can I have the history of Nzvere his family and brothers. Our grand father told us that we are of the Nzvere family who lived in Chishawasha the area which now is built the Chishawasha Mission. The little I know is that my grandfather was Gawa whose father was Kadzinga whose father was Katyamakwara whose father was Chibaya. My grandfather finally settled in Uzumba Makaza village.
Pakanaka Mukanya itai muchinyora zvamunoudzwa nevskuru kuitiraremsngwa monditumira ndoisa padare pano kuti vanotsvaka ruzivo vabetserwe
Yes, can you read the history that was narrated by one called Victor Gotora am sure you are of his lineage
you the mwendamberis how do you relate with those in chirau zvimba area?
That’s part if my family… I’m told that our ancestors came from Zvimba, and so we are Chirau from Zvimba but settled in Domboshava…
We are Nondo Mwendamberi, chirau… mvura yadzonga…..etc… Our clan includes vekwa Mudzimu, Mutengezanwa, Mutsvanzva, Mverechena…Murape..
My mother knows our whole story….
Hello hama do you have an email we can converse with? My lineage is a delicate one as my father maternal family were settled in Chishawasha for some time and have historical accounts explaining how vana Jena were part of the Ruling Class amongst vaShawasha in that region alongside vana Murewha and Shava Clans people who were of high influence at that time predating 1886 period. And also how us vana Chirau who are originally from Zvimba moved Chirau Communal lands as we have ancestors buried kwaMurombedzi and Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe area. I would expound on here but it will veer of the subject matter at hand here.
Also it would be lovely to reconnect as we are all over the World now. 🙂

This shows our connection with ana Chirau Mwendamberi vekwaZvimba (Makonde) and anaSoko (makwira zvuru). You say you have more information, please share.
Does anyone have history yana Mbabvu (Mwendamberi Nondo) from Zvimba?
We are directly linked but we moved. We have a narrative in our oral history that explains this but we have ancestors buried in Zvimba were we still visit.
Ihama dzedu i have been informed in detail the exact relation asi at this moment it escapes me. Why do you ask?
Apologies for my absence.

Someone please answer
I was born at Mashinge Village, raised there by my grandfather Mhepo Mashinge. I learnt to swim in Nyaure River, and my grandfather took me hunting in Ngomakurira mountain. I went to school at Mutanhaurwa School. My father had been a school teacher at Tsatse School. I know every single cave in Gandami Mountain. My grandfather Va Mashinge died in June 1963. Before he died he asked me to take dictation notes from him about the history of the Mhepo Mavakire clan (his father) and how the family had come settle in Gadami valley. Those notes covered about 35 exercise books. Rich stuff
It would be nice if you could make these 35 pages available for the lineage related to Mashinge family under the Chinamora Clan
I haven’t gone through the whole website carefully but, based on my casual browsing, I think this is to be commended. I tried doing something like this for vaera Gumbo but still haven’t been able to arrange the information as neatly as you seem to have done. I hope to come back to an updated site at some point and link your stuff with ours as you guys are connected to us, anaMadyirapanze.
Mukuwapasi this is work in progress and we will continue to ensure that necessary details are made available as and when they come through
Fellow Kinsmen,
We are quiet as these things continue to happen! I am deeply saddened by the events around our lack of initiative to reclaim our inheritance. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10210582057656468&id=1497440392&ref=bookmarks
We are all mukanya!
I also am son of Chinamora. “Soko Murehwa”, “Chinamora” is my seal and seal of my Zezuru progenitors. But beleive me, beyond being vaShavasha vaZezuru, we are Karanga first and yet more than that. Our people goe way beyond Tumbudu ari Mahugwi. We directly descend from Gumbi, son of Murenga, son of Mambiri, son of Tovela son of Ramao of Messopotamia. Our fathers before Tumbudu stayed at Zimbabgi Ruins-within those great walls before moving to Zimbabgi Khami to offer priestly services at Matonjeni. Those that passed on are burried in the curves at Matonjeni. And they did not speak this langauge that we speak today; it was ancient-had a lot of ‘l’s more like Venda or Khalanga but more ancient than that. Yu may ask-‘by what evidence do yu lay claim to these things?’ The ruins are there; the lands are there; the bones lie burried in the earth-wither goest the soul? Is that not proof enough? Male Vashavasha are princes not just because of being sons to Godzonga himself-but of Murenga even. Yet who would have known? So vanaMurehwa,VaMbire variDzimbabgi, see it for yourselves. The truth is not in the dark any more. For instance; why would Kagubi take refuge from Madzviti in Chishavasha?

I heard Nondo mwendamberi, mvura yadzongwa, are originally from guruuswa , ndivo zvekare vanobata hushe kwaChirau, in Zvimba. But due to some misunderstandings in the family others moved back, vamwewo went to guruve, mt Darwin and mrewa. There was a time they changed mutupo while hiding from trouble vakambonzi marigazvuru, I stand to be corrected
My mother is Mwendamberi yeNondo… She mentioned something similar to what you have said that All Mwendamberi hell from Chirau Clan in Zvimba… Vamwe vari Sanyati futi…. ivo vanobva kwaChihota kwaGovha.
I’m Nondo Chirau Mwendamberi from Chihota kwaChigwedere, kwaMuvhiyi, we are somehow related to Chief Chigwedere
