Abstract
[According to section nine of the booklet entitled “Rungano rweZion Christian
Church in Rhodesia,” Samuel Mutendi was born to Makuwa, son of
Mudengezerwa who was the son of Chirume Mushavi who lived at Great
Zimbabwe. Chirume Mushavi was born to Dlembeu, the first son of Chief
Chirisamhuru of Matopos. This means that Samuel Mutendi was of the “Moyo
wavaRozvi” or heart totem. His father Makuwa was one of King Chikore’s vice
regents and a traditionalist who later was converted to the Dutch Reformed
Church (DRC). This history shows that Mutendi was a member of the Rozvi
royal family and grew up in the Dutch Reformed Church.]
