dc.descriptionThe history of the Jesuits in Zambia from the very moment of their arrival (1905) follows a zigzag course which is not easy to trace. Among the first missionaries there were French, Polish, Irish,Croatian, North Americans and Slovaks. They were pioneers, explorers and even innovators of agricultural methods. The tombs of some of them are now covered by the water of a dam.en_US
dc.description.abstractToday nearly fifty of the hundred and twenty Jesuits in Zambia and Malawi are Africans. While many are still in training one or two are ordained each year now. The first attempt to cross the Zambesi River into Zambia ended in disaster, as Fr. Anton Terórde in 1880 died in the Gwembe Valley in less than a month after establishing a mission. His grave now lies under the waters of Lake Kariba. Br. Louis de Vylder was drowned while travelling up the river in 1883. Several more died in what is today Zimbabwe. It was only in 1905 that the first Jesuit mission was successfully established at Chikuni in southern Zambia.....en_US
