Hello and welcome to Witness the History Program from the BBC World Service with me

Rebecca Kessby and today we head to Zimbabwe in the early 1980s after independence

from the white minority rule.

The country was redefining itself and looking to its ancient past

In 1982, Dr Kenneth Mefuka was appointed the first black director of museums in Zimbabwe.

History becomes important.
