chiefs to be baptized. It was a great
struggle, known in history as the
dispute of 1628.
After Emperor Monomotapa's
death, he was succeeded on the
throne by his son Manuza. In the
same year of 1628, Manuza declared
war against the Portuguese domination, and then Portuguese garisson
surrendered and retreated to the-
Island of Mozambique leaving the
new King in peace.
The battle of Tete and Sena in
1628, and 1629 respectively ensued,
in which 1,000 troops of Emperor
Monomotapa.'s army were smashed
by the two hundred and fifty Portuguese powerfully armed soldiers,
including the shooting of the paramount chiefs. From that time, the
resistance against Portuguese impe
rialism and colonialism has been
waged, up till the present time.
In 1630, the Portuguese Governor
in Mozambique D.Nuno Alvers
Pereira imposed division upon the
old Monomotapa Empire, thereby
creating the provinces of Butonga
and Nacurangua. On finishing this,
he commenced the permanent
settlement of Portuguese in Mozambique. Portuguese miners and
engineers were posted to all parts of
the country for exploration and
exploitation.
As far back as 1569, these colonial rogues and spivs, recruited
about 1,000 Africans in the Portuguese controlled army of Mozambique, in order to use these Africans
against their own people who were
fighting against Portuguese imperia
lism and colonialism.
In 1677, a garrison of six hundred' military officials, administrators, engineers, miners, gold-smiths,
Women ' and missionaries were
imported into the country from Portugal. The Portuguese imperialists
and colonialists were enjoying
themselves exclusively.
They also traded in slavery. Between" 1780 to 1800, more than
15,000 Africans were exported
yearly as slaves to America, a
number which rose to 25,000 until
slave trade was abolished in 1836.
The Portuguese colonialists, in
pursuit of their usual divide-and-rule
policy, attempted several times to
destroy the Vatua Empire under a
powerful King named Ngunguni-
