George Tawengwa
George Tawengwa Snr (6 March 1915 – 13 April 1982) was the first black millionaire (in US dollars) and a very prominent Zimbabwe businessman who was engaged in transport, retail, hotel and agriculture industries. He was the owner of Mushandirapamwe Hotel at Machipisa shopping centre in Highfield, Harare and others. In 1960 he was the first black person to purchase a 1,872.0-hectare commercial farm (Zimdale farm in Marondera) from a white farmer, in the then colonial system by a racist white minority of Southern Rhodesia. To mark a historic milestone Tawengwa and his wife Mabel Tawengwa were featured in a 1977 edition of The ''Rhodesia Herald'' newspaper (currently ''The Herald Zimbabwe''), when they purchased five farms for cash. Farms are Shaka Hills, Sheba amongst others in the Hwedza district.
==Early life==
George Tawengwa Snr was born to Chirume and Maria (Mhariya) and had a younger brother Bernard Chirume, his only sibling. His mother died when he was only 4 years old. In 1927 at age 12 he was chased by his short-tempered father from their Mwanza Village home in Goromonzi and wandered towards Marondera. where he finally settled in Ruzawi. He got his first job as a shepherd, herding goats and sheep for a white couple. Because of the disgruntlement with his father he later dropped the surname Chirume in favour of his middle name Tavengwa, which was misspelt in some early documents as Tayengwa, and later anglicised to the current Tawengwa.
