Detailed explanation-2: -The war broke out when a spiritual leader by the name of Mlimo convinced the Ndebele that the draught and a plague of locusts destroying croplands were as a result of the presence of the British South Africa Company (BSAC), led by Cecil Rhodes. The objective of the war was to drive the British out of the country.
