Shiwa’ngandu was founded by Sir Stewart Gore Browne in 1921 as an ‘African Utopia’, a small piece of England in the remote african wilderness in Northern part of Zambia. Shiwa is a reminder of the grandular and splender of a bygone colonial era.
Sir Stewart arrived in Africa, on Belgian Congo border in August 1911. He worked there for three years, but his time at the Commission came to an untimely end when he argued with his superior about the unfair way in which the African staff were being treated.
