What rights did lobengula grant british settlers?

Lobengula, the king of the Ndebele people in Zimbabwe, granted British settlers various rights through the Rudd Concession in 1888. This agreement allowed British interests, particularly the British South Africa Company, to mine and exploit resources in the region. In exchange, Lobengula was promised financial and military support, but the terms were often misunderstood or misrepresented, leading to significant conflict and colonization. Ultimately, this concession paved the way for increased British control over the territory.
