Kaguvi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaguvi or Kagube or Kagubi, was a "lion spirit" or mhondoro of the Zezuru Shona people of Zimbabwe. The name is also given to the spirit's medium, a man called Gumporeshumba (c1870-1898) who was one of the leaders of the Shona Rebellion against European rule in 1896-1897.

The eye section of Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare under UZ is named in honour of Kaguvi and his medium.
