Benjamin J. S. Mbulayi was born in Zwimba, Sinoia District in 1924 and enlisted in the British South Africa Police in July 1944. Awarded his Colonial Police L.S. & G.C. Medal in November 1962, he retired in the rank of Station Sergeant in September 1969, having served for most of his career in the Bulawayo Rural District. His Rhodesia General Service Medal was a “late claim” in 1981, so, too, most probably, his Rhodesian Police L.S. & G.C. - his rank erroneously being given as Staff Sergeant on the former; sold with research.
