The '''Hwata''''''( variant:Wata)

Dynastic title of the rulers of an independent Hera chiefdom,located at the headwaters of the Mazowe River just north of present day Harare.By the early 19th century the Hwata chiefdom held a dominant position in regional trade.For this reason,the Ndebele strove to subjugate the Hwatas from the middle of the 18th century.In 1864 an Ndebele Impi captured Hwata Gwindi.The Hwata dynasty took control of the Shawasha gold fields and a succession of Hwata rulers, the sons of Shayachimwe, dominated trade with Portuguese from the East. Hwata Gwindi travelled to King Lobengula in 1864,to discuss end of hostilities so that they can face common enemy, the British South Africa Company which was occupying parts of the country and taking over their mines and lands.

On 12 September 1890, white settlers of British extraction led by a hunter Selous, hoisted the British flag in the territory of Hwata, in present day Harare in Mashonaland Zimbabwe.
