Tavonga Ngonidzashe (born 17 September, 1992) is the eldest son of the reigning monarch of Rwizikuru, Munashe Ngonidzashe. He became Crown Prince on 21 September, 2019, when his father became Mambo following his grandfather's abdication from the throne.
Early life
Tavonga Ngonidzashe was born to Munashe Ngonidzashe and Nyengeterai Ngonidzashe, as the eldest of six legitimate children on 17 September, 1992 in Guta raMambo. He was baptized into the High Estmerish Church as Barnabas Ngondizashe.
In 1995, he entered a kutamba boka program at the King Izibongo School, making him the first royal to enter a preschool program. Tavonga went on to enter Kugamuchira in 1997, and made his way through school at an average rate.
His teachers described him as being "average in all areas," and was expected to go to a Chikoro chepamusoro after his "mediocre results" in the eleven-plus in 2003. However, his grandfather was able to pull strings to allow Tavonga to attend the Shungudzemwoyo Ncube Grammar School in 2004, and finished his Yechitanhatu Fomu in 2011.
While he had mediocre results, his grandfather was able to persuade the University of Rwizikuru to allow him to attend classes: thus, n September 2011, he moved to Port Fitzhubert and began taking classes in political science.
In 2012, he went for a semester abroad in Sirand, Mathrabumi, where he met Princess Jagruti Ganapuli. While after that semester, he returned to Port Fitzhubert, he stayed in contact with Jagruti.
In 2015, Tavonga Ngonidzashe graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science. That same year, he married Jagruti Ganapuli.
Increasing role
In December 2015, Tavonga Ngonidzashe and his wife made their first public appearance in Rwizikuru, when they opened a bridge crossing the Rwizikuru River in Port Fitzhubert.
In 2016, he was appointed by Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe to replace Munashe Ngonidzashe as treasurer, partially as Munashe was to take on more responsibilities from his grandfather. As treasurer, Tavonga Ngonidzashe, while still taking money from the treasury to enrich the royal family when asked to by Kupakwashe, was not as concerned of enriching himself, as he believed that the royal family was more than wealthy enough to not need to engage in the embezzlement anymore.
Over the next couple of years, Tavonga Ngonidzashe was given more duties by his father, mostly minor duties relating to the Crown Prince, as the Crown Prince was taking on more duties from the Mambo.
Personal life
Tavonga Ngonidzashe married Jagruti Ganapuli in 2015, and had twin sons in 2018: Makomborero Ngonidzashe and Munyaradzi Ngonidzashe.
He is fluent in weRwizi, Gaullican, and Marathi, and can comfortably hold a conversation in Senrian and Estmerish.
