In Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), African women have tradition-
a lly shared equal responsibilities and duties in public
administration, political affairs and national defense. In
the military service, women, like men, were involved in
combat duties. During the Mwenemutapa Empire, for example,
some of the best combat regiments in the Imperial Army were
made up only of women soldiers. These battle seasoned
regiments were commanded and led by capable and competent
women military officers. The regiments were made up princi-
p ally of young and un-married women. A number of the
Emperors of this wealthy and powerful empire had great faith
and confidence in the fighting capabilities of their women
soldiers because many of them had distinguished themselves
in battle by their courage and bravery.l
This great military tradition has been maintained in
Zimbabwe and has surfaced in various forms and intensity
s i nce 1890 when the country was formally colonized and sub-
jugated by the British settlers. Because of the growing
military and racial conf~ontation between the Zimbabwe Lib-
eration Army, the Military wing of the African National
Council, and the forces of the white racist minority regime
of Ian Smith, a number of African women of Zimbabwe are being
r ecruited to serve at various levels in the army of libera-
tion .
The woman who is generally recognized by many Zimba-
bwe ans as the greatest military leader and freedom fighter
in recent history was Nehanda. Nehanda was a powerful and
influential woman who achieved her religio-political fame
and military greatness during the 1896 to 1897 Mashona- Mate-
bele 2 war of national liberation against the oppressive and
dehumanizing f orces of colonialism and economic exploitation
in Zimbabwe. This great and histori c war of national lib-
eration was waged against the British settlers who had
annexed the country as a British colony in September 1890.

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

Events and places which hold Lesotho's history
1. Lesotho Historical Events
Lesotho's history is marked by resilience, cultural richness, and a struggle for
independence. Nestled in the heart of southern Africa, Lesotho's story begins with its
early inhabitants, including the San people, whose rock art and archaeological sites
provide glimpses into the region's ancient past.
The Khoisan hunter gatherers are the first inhabitants of the region, before Sotho-
Tswana peoples colonized the general region between the third and 11th centuries.
3. The founder of Lesotho Kingdom
Moshoeshoe I is the founding father of the Basotho people.
He was crucial in bringing together the several tribes in southern Africa, especially
in the early 1800s, to create the nation that would later be called the Basotho. The
Basotho people are renowned for Moshoeshoe I's leadership, strategic alliances,
and diplomatic abilities, which helped them resist outside pressures including wars
with neighboring tribes and European colonists.
5. Historical places in Lesotho include
Butha-Buthe
It was traditionally inhabited by the Basotho people, who are renowned for
their resilience, unity, and cultural heritage.
His first settlement was at Butha-Buthe, but he later built his stronghold at
Thaba-Bosiu (Mountain of the Night).
He united various groups of refugees during the Shaka wars, a period
known as the ‘mfecane’ or difaqane (1813-1830), into the Basotho nation.
From his capital at Thaba-Bosiu , he warded off attacks from many
enemies, including Shaka Zulus and Mzilikazi Ndebele .
7. Thaba-Bosiu
Thaba-Bosiu was used as a hideout by Moshoeshoe I and his subjects after they
migrated from Butha-Buthe in 1824 escaping the ravages of
the Difaqane/Mfecane Wars.
The plateau formed a natural fortress which protected the Basotho in times of war.
Moshoeshoe I and his people took occupation of this mountain in July 1824.
He named it Thaba-Bosiu (loosely translated – Mountain at Night) because he and
his people arrived at night.
To intimidate his enemies, he spread news that the mountain grew larger at night.
Moshoeshoe was able to offer cattle and protection to those fleeing the ravages
of Mfecane/Difaqane Wars.
8. The death of Moshoeshoe I
In 1870, a significant event occurred: King Moshoeshoe I, the respected
and influential leader of the Basotho people, passed away. Moshoeshoe I
was known for his wisdom, diplomacy, and leadership, and his death
marked the end of an era for the Basotho nation.
Following Moshoeshoe I's death, the Basotho people faced a period of
uncertainty and transition as they mourned the loss of their beloved leader.
However, the legacy of Moshoeshoe I endured, shaping the future
direction of the Basotho people and their nation.
And was buried at Thaba-Bosiu.
By that time he had reached 84 years.
