The '''murungu''' (pl. ''varungu'') are people in [[Rwizikuru]] who are of [[Euclea|Euclean]] descent, and are citizens 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.


==Etymology==
==List==
The term '''murungu''' is a {{wp|Shona language|weRwizi language}} term referring to white people.  
{| class="wikitable"  style="width:100%; text-align:center;"

The most common theory says that the term originated from a name that is commonly used by other {{wp|Bantu peoples|Bahian peoples}} to refer to God or the creator deity, {{wp|Mulungu}}. According to linguist and settler [[Marvin Carnall]], who first proposed the idea in 1911, when the [[Estmerish people|Estmerish]] first arrived to present-day [[Port Graham]] in 1638 and established a fort, the {{wp|Shona people|native veRwizi}} saw the Estmerish as Gods, and thus used the term ''murungu'' to refer to the Estmerish.

However, this interpretation has been met with substantial criticism, with many veRwizi arguing that Carnall's theory is Eucleocentric and plays into the common trope that "uncivlized peoples" see Eucleans as gods.
! width=10%| Name
 
! Took office
The most common alternative theory, first proposed in 1975 by linguist [[Tazvitya Mhlanga]] claims that the term derives from the "pumpkin-like" appearance of the earliest Estmerish settlers in the 17th century. Thus, they called the white commmunity "people of the pumpkin."
! Left office
 
! Days
This term was historically only used by the weRwizi people to refer to all white people. However, in 1946, with independence looming, many white people chose to keep the citizenship of their home countries, instead of accepting Rwizikuran citizenship. Thus, [[Samhuri Ngonidzashe]] needed to devise terms, so to distinguish the "white citizens," and the "white expatriates."
! Election
 
! width=10%| Political party
Thus, he chose to use the term "murungu" or "varungu" to refer to white citizens of Rwizikuru, and "munodzoka" or "vanodzoka" to refer to the whites who chose to not accept Rwizikuran citizenship. Since independence, the latter term has evolved to refer to all expatriates of Euclean descent, while the former now only refers to Rwizikuran citizens of Euclean descent.

white immigration not as high as in other Estmerish colonies, what with the hot climate: [[Crogan]] becomes main center of the white community from 1890s on as it is somewhat cooler than [[Port Fitzhubert]], and is home to large farms of cash crops. by 1931, white population reaches 14,867 people.

With the end of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in 1935, the white community in [[Rwizikuru|Riziland]] were augmented by Gaullophones living in [[Yekumavirira|Olongaland]], or the portion of the [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] colony of [[Quigomba]] which was split between [[Nasana]] and [[Estmere]].
