Born in Buhera in 1909, Benjamin Burombo is one of the earliest Zimbabwean nationalist to fight for national liberation.
He is credited for having possessed a quality of leadership which inspired those he met to take a pride in themselves and to try to make positive moves to improve their lot.
He founded the British African National Voice Association, a trade union organization with political overtones, and became its President. Although he had never received any formal education he taught himself the rudiments of law by his own reading. |
