🧑🏾💼 From Humble Beginnings to National Icon
Born in 1917, Nkomo wasn’t about noise—he was about strategy. A founding leader of Zimbabwe African People’s Union, he became one of the earliest voices against colonial rule.

The Gukurahundi era? Painful. Complex. A chapter that affected his supporters deeply.
