UK museums in a position to return skulls to Zimbabwe

London’s Natural History Museum and Cambridge University have said they are willing to work with Zimbabwe to recover human remains taken from colonial times. The new statements come after a Zimbabwean delegation met with officials from both institutions.

Zimbabweans are looking for the skulls of the former anti-colonial heroes of the nineteenth century, who will be in the United Kingdom. However, they have not yet been discovered. Zimbabwe’s government has long suspected that the remains of some of the leaders of the first Chimurenga uprising opposed to British rule in the 1890s were brought to the UK as trophies.

The outstanding maxim of them is a woman known as Mbuya Nehanda. She executed in Harare, the current capital of Zimbabwe, and is considered a national heroine.
