Biography

Peter Kushana Lobengula (died 24 November 1913) was a South African actor and circus performer who gained considerable attention in Britain during the early 20th-century, claiming to be a prince and the son of Lobengula, the last King of the Matabele. He was one of the performers at Frank Fillis's 'Savage South Africa' show at Earl's Court in 1899. His romance and subsequent marriage to a white woman, Kitty Jewell caused a sensation at the time.
