GOVERNMENT HOUSE BULAWAYO
Bulawayo, second largest city in Zimbabwe and the chief city of Matabeleland (i.e., the Ndebele-dominated
western third of the country). The city lies along the Matsheumlope River in the southwestern part of the
country, 4,405 feet (1,341 metres) above sea level in undulating savanna terrain. The original site was the
kraal (headquarters) of Lobengula, king of the Ndebele, who fought a major battle against his rivals there;
Bulawayo means place of slaughter. Occupied by the British in 1893, the settlement was moved in 1894 to
its present location 3 miles (5 km) south and declared a town; it became a municipality in 1897 and a city in
1943. Government House, built by Cecil John Rhodes, now occupies the original site.
