Since it is in the volunteer house Mafinga very comfortable we have spent much time just with Sleeping, eating, baking cookies, playing chop wood, and discuss. Nevertheless, one had to tell after such a long time a lot. But at some point it was too boring for us and we ascended in the Dala Mafinga to Iringa and migrated there in the footsteps Mkwawa.
Mkwawa was the leader of the Hehe one in Iringa region of local tribes. A tribe called here in Tanzania, a larger population group has its own language and often a partially independent culture. In Europe, people would say, for example, in the eyes of Tanzanians, the Basques as a tribe.
Here in Tanzania, the tribal affiliation still plays a big role and if you look somewhere before presenting it comes time that we call not only the name and work but also the tribe. However, the nationality is different than in other African countries a little more important.
Mkwawa was then leader of the Hehe, a warlike tribe, in times of German colonial rule. Since the Germans wanted to expand
Iringa as a military base there was an uprising, known as Uprising Hehe. During this time Mkwawa took a prominent rock in the immediate area of \u200b\u200bIringa to meditate and to anticipate the next steps of the Germans.
has used it, unfortunately, nothing, as the Germans defeated the Hehe a cruel starvation tactics eventually, but the stone from which one can enjoy a wonderful view over the city, you can climb even today.
