'''Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe''' (born 29 August, 1942) is the current [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Mambo]] of [[Rwizikuru]], reigning since his father's death on 21 September, 1979.
'''Munashe Ngonidzashe''' (born 29 August, 1969) is the {{wp|heir apparent}} to the [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|throne]] of [[Rwizikuru]], having been named '''korona muchinda''' on 5 February, 1980.


==Early life==
==Early life==
Kupakwashe was born to [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]] and [[Anatswanashe Ngonidzashe]] in [[Port Fitzhubert]], and was the eldest of five sons, and baptized into the {{wp|Methodism|Free Church of Bahia}} as David Ngonidzashe. As the grandson of prominent nationalist [[Samhuri Ngonidzashe]], he was introduced to politics very early on.
Munashe was born to [[Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe]] and [[Rudorwashe Ngonidzashe]] in [[Port Fitzhubert]], and was the eldest of three sons, and baptized into the {{wp|Methodism|Free Church of Bahia}} as Gideon Ngonidzashe.


He entered the [[Charles Fitzhubert School]] in 1947, and was described as a "middling student" by his teachers who did "neither too well, nor too poorly" throughout his time in school.  
He entered the [[Charles Fitzhubert School]] in 1974, and was described by his teachers as being an "excellent student," with one old teacher comparing him as "more willing to learn than his father." He continued to attend the Charles Fitzhubert School until 1978, when the royal family moved to the newly-completed [[Guta raMambo]], and was sent to the newly established [[King Izibongo School]].
 
In 1953, he took the {{wp|eleven-plus}} exam, and was placed into a {{wp|grammar school}}, although it has been alleged by many people, including [[Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe]], that his grandfather had forced the [[Ministry of Education (Rwizikuru)|Ministry of Education]] to alter the results to get him into a grammar school. Thus, he was admitted that year into the [[Shungudzemwoyo Nhema Grammar School]], where he was described by his teachers "as not particularly bright," although noted his charisma and his aptitude with political affairs.
 
After finishing his {{wp|sixth form}} in 1960, Izibongo Ngonidzashe entered the Rwizikuran {{wp|civil service}}, and was quickly appointed {{wp|Deputy minister (Canada)|deputy minister}} by his father, Izibongo Ngonidzashe, who at that point had become [[President of Rwizikuru|President]] of Rwizikuru. At that time, he became a member of his father's political party, the [[Mubatanidzwa weRusununguko rweRwizikuru]].


==Crown prince==
==Crown prince==
In 1964, with [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]] reaching his maximum terms under the [[Constitution of Rwizikuru, 1947|constitution]] as [[President of Rwizikuru|President]], he chose to abolish the Republic and constitution, and declared Rwizikuru an {{wp|absolute monarchy}}. At his father's coronation ceremony at [[Saint David's Free Church, Port Fitzhubert|Saint David's Free Church]] in [[Port Fitzhubert]] on 2 July, 1964, Izibongo conferred the status of ''korona muchinda'' ({{wp|Shona language|weRwizi}} for crown prince) on Kupakwashe, with Kupakwashe being crowned as such.
===Initial years===
 
On 21 September, 1979, his grandfather, [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]] died in a car accident, leaving his father, [[Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe]] as [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Mambo]] of [[Rwizikuru]], and thus, he became heir to the Rwizikuran throne. In 1980, he was formally designated '''korona muchinda''' in [[Port Fitzhubert]], and from that point started getting more education from his father to teach him on how to run Rwizikuru.
With this status, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe started to play a far more prominent role on Rwizikuran society, as he was seen to be the Mambo's natural successor. Thus, he often made public appearances, both with his father, and in his own right. As well, due to his experience in the former Ministry of Finance as Deputy Minister, Kupakwashe was made royal treasurer in 1968, to oversee the nation's finances.
 
When his father ordered the capital be moved from Port Fitzhubert to a new site called [[Guta raMambo]] in 1972, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe started to play a prominent role in developing the town in his father's visions, by financing both the design and construction of the buildings there. By the time the [[Imba yoRudzi]] was completed in 1978, and the royal family moved to Guta raMambo, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe was reassigned from his position as treasurer to be appointed as District Commissioner of the newly-established district corresponding to Guta raMambo.
 
During his tenure as District Commissioner, he continued overseeing the construction of Guta raMambo, and sought to ensure that it met his father's idea of it being the "chief village in a nation of villages."
 
==Reign==
===Coronation and early reign===
[[File:(Teodoro_Obiang_Nguema)_Leopoldo_Calvo_Sotelo_se_reúne_con_el_presidente_de_Guinea_Ecuatorial._Pool_Moncloa._13_de_mayo_de_1982_(cropped).jpeg|150px|thumb|left|Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, 1982]]
Following the death of [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]] in 1979 following a car accident, he automatically became [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Mambo]], as per the [[Basic Law of Rwizikuru]]. Wishing to emulate his father, he chose to hold an elaborate coronation on 5 February, 1980 at the [[Saint David's Free Church, Port Fitzhubert|Saint David's Free Church]] at [[Port Fitzhubert]], modelled on his father's coronation.
 
At the ceremony, he was crowned by Priest [[James Mawere]], and then crowned his wife, [[Rudorwashe Ngonidzashe]] as ''Mambokadzi'', before crowning his eleven year-old son, [[Munashe Ngonidzashe]] as ''korona muchinda''. Unlike his father, who had custom-make all of his regalia, he reused the regalia used in the previous coronation.
 
Following his coronation, he started to undo some of his father's policies: the restrictions implemented in the 1960s on foreign investment by his father were lifted in November 1980, by June 1981, {{wp|television}} broadcasts began, and towards the end of 1981, further reforms were made to open the markets up.
 
However, on December 22, 1981, Kupakwashe's uncle, [[Fred Ngonidzashe]] attempted to launch a [[Port Fitzhubert putsch, 1981|coup d'etat]] against Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, backed by Fred's son, [[Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe]], claiming that the monarchy had abandoned their socialist principles "in a bid to cement his own bid on power." The Mambo swiftly crushed the rebellion, though not before Muchazvireva fled to [[Caldia]], and after a {{wp|show trial}} executed Fred Ngonidzashe on December 30, 1981, and stripped all of his descendants of their royal status.
 
Following the failed coup, Kupakwashe not only engaged in purges against the [[Royal Rwizikuran Armed Forces]], he also further continued on reforms: in May 1982, he invited the [[Marathi people|Marathi]] expelled under his father's reign in 1966 to return to Rwizikuru, and provided funding to encourage them to return, and start their own businesses back up again. At the same time, he started improving infrastructure in Port Fitzhubert, and in the royal capital of [[Guta raMambo]], as well as improving the nation's transport infrastructure.


Despite these efforts, {{wp|corruption}} remained a huge problem, with {{wp|embezzlement}} being common on all levels of government, including the top: in an 1985 interview, he remarked that "everyone is a bit corrupt in some ways." In that year alone, it was estimated that of the nation's budget, only 15% of the funds allocated actually made it to the programs that were supposed to be funded in the budget, on average.
The death of his grandfather greatly affected him, with Munashe saying in 2008 that "the death of my grandfather affected me because suddenly, my father, who was my rock became tied down to his job." His academic performance declined, with Munashe "barely getting into {{wp|grammar school}}."


(TBC)
However, by the time he started attending the [[Shungudzemwoyo Ncube Grammar School]] in 1981, his academic performance started to improve to his previous levels. In 1984, he made his first solo public appearance, as he gave the commencement speech at the [[Charles Fitzhubert School]]. In 1987, he finished {{wp|sixth form|yechitanhatu fomu}}, and graduated from the Shungudzemwoyo Ncube Grammar School, and enrolled at the [[University of Rwizikuru]] to major in {{wp|political studies}}.


===Later reign and abdication===
In 1991, he obtained a {{wp|bachelor's degree}} from the University of Rwizikuru. However, he was ordered by his father to stop pursuing higher education, and instead focus on his role as crown prince.
(TBC)


On 2 August, 2019, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe approved an agreement with the [[Global Institute of Fiscal Affairs]] in which the GIFA would provide Rwizikuru with a loan of one hundred million [[euclos]] in exchange for Rwizikuru undergoing {{wp|structural adjustment}} and requiring the establishment of a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}}, with the legislature being the only body allowed to pass and propose budgets, with the Mambo prohibited from altering the budget.
===Active role===
 
Later that day, he announced plans to abdicate the throne to his son, [[Munashe Ngonidzashe]], and to begin organizing a {{wp|constitutional convention}} to write up the new constitution for Rwizikuru.


==Personal life==
==Personal life==
Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe married 19-year old [[Rudorwashe Ngonidzashe|Rudorwashe Jokonya]] in 1967, and had three sons: [[Munashe Ngonidzashe]], heir to the [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Rwizikuran throne]], [[Munyai Ngonidzashe]], and [[Takwana Ngonidzashe]], as well as two daughters, [[Auyanerudo Dumbutshena]], and [[Watinoda Prabhu]].
Munashe Ngonidzashe married the twenty-year old [[Nyengeterai Dangarembga]] in 1989, and has three sons with her: [[Tavonga Ngonidzashe]], [[Taremekedzwa Ngonidzashe]], and [[Taurainashe Ngonidzashe]]. They also have three daughters: [[Shungu Ngonidzashe]], [[Pamhidzai Ngonidzashe]], and [[Kuchema Ngonidzashe]].
 
Their marriage lasted until Rudorwashe Ngonidzashe's death at the age of 67 in 2014 from {{wp|breast cancer}}. Since her death, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe expressed his intention to not marry again.
 
He is a devout member of the {{wp|Methodism|Free Church of Bahia}}, saying in an 1985 interview that "the Free Church [of Bahia] is an integral part of my life," and has been known to serve as a {{wp|lay preacher}} from time to time.
