Zimbabwe was colonized by the British in the late 1880s. This ushered in racial discrimination, marginalization and the chockfull oppression of black people. Africans endured land appropriation, being deprived of rights such as access to education and the infringements of their freedom in all aspects of life. A cocktail of these infractions propelled Mbuya Nehanda to lead a revolution against colonial rule. She ignited the spirit of resistance, and her legendary statement, “my bones shall rise again”, has continued to fan the spirit of resistance against colonial oppression in Zimbabwe. This statement also has an affinity with the resurrection motif. Although in some Christian circles, resistance is considered an evil act, in this chapter, we proffer that the spirit of Mbuya Nehanda should spur all women of faith to boldly challenge and resist all systemic injustices. Informed by the theology of resistance and the resurrection spirit, we tender that women of this world should claim freedom from male supremacy, racial, socio economic and all forms of global injustices.engAfrican indigenous religioncolonialismjusticemale supremacyMbuya Nehandaresistance theologyresurrection theologySpirit mediumoppressionZimbabwe230bookpart
