Manica Road, Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), Circa 1908: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene on Manica Road in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), circa 1908. The wide, tree-lined street is filled with a diverse mix of people and transportation, offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of this colonial city during the early 1900s. In the foreground, a man in a European-style suit and hat walks confidently along the road, while a group of African men in traditional attire engage in conversation nearby. The sound of hooves clattering on the cobblestones can be heard as a horse-drawn carriage approaches from the left, its passengers peering out at the passing scene. Meanwhile, a man on a bicycle makes his way along the road, the spokes of his wheels barely visible against the dusty ground. Pedestrians, both European and African, dodge between the vehicles, some carrying bundles on their heads or pushing carts laden with goods. The architecture of the buildings lining the street speaks to the colonial influence, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. The trees along the roadside provide a welcome respite from the heat, their branches shading the pedestrians below. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the vibrant and diverse community that called Salisbury home during the early days of colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and complex cultural tapestry that makes up the story of Zimbabwe.
