'''Izibongo Ngonidzashe''' (28 April, 1921 - 21 September, 1979) was the second and last [[President of Rwizikuru]], serving from 1954 to 1964, and the first [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Mambo of Rwizikuru]], ascending the throne in 1964, and reigning until his death in 1979. Having reigned for 25 years, 2 months, 19 days, he was the longest reigning leader of an independent Rwizikuru until his son and successor, [[Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe]] surpassed his record on December 11, 2004 as the longest reigning leader of Rwizikuru.
The '''Prime Minister of Surrow''' was the {{wp|head of government}} of [[Surrow]] from when it was granted full {{wp|self-government}} by [[Rythene]] in 1915 until Surrow was granted independence in 1950. By custom, the Prime Minister of Surrow was the leader of the largest party in the [[Parliament of Surrow|Surrowese Parliament]], or otherwise had the most support among the members of Parliament.


==Early life==
==List==
Izibongo Ngonidzashe was born on 28 April, 1921, as the second child and eldest son of [[Samhuri Ngonidzashe]] and [[Kugarakunzwana Ngonidzashe]] in the town of [[Vongai]] at the district of [[Parunoguma]], and was baptized into the {{wp|Methodism|High Estmerish Church}} as Nathaniel.

His family moved to [[Port Fitzhubert]] in 1923, as his father sought to give his children a good education. Thus, in 1926, Izibongo Ngonidzashe entered the [[Charles Fitzhubert School]], where he was described as an excellent student by his teachers, and he was noted for his propensity to go into the library to study for hours at a time.

In 1932, he finished his elementary studies, and took the exams to get into the [[Shungudzemwoyo Nhema Grammar School|James Parlow Grammar School]] (present-day [[Shungudzemwoyo Nhema Grammar School]]). After passing them, he began his schooling at the James Parlow Grammar School, where they noted his "knowledge of most things," and his charisma, which they likened to his father.

After finishing {{wp|sixth form}} in 1939, he began to participate in his father's [[Mubatanidzwa weRusununguko rweRwizikuru|Rwizikuran National Movement]], initially as a low-level member, but eventually reached the point that by 1945, he was a leader of the local chapter in Port Fitzhubert.

Izibongo Ngonidzashe was nominated by the [[Mubatanidzwa weRusununguko rweRwizikuru|MRR]] (formerly the [[Mubatanidzwa weRusununguko rweRwizikuru|Rwizikuran National Movement]]) to be the candidate for the constituency of Dockside.
