Ajene Xola was one of two freedom fighters from Matobo seeking to overthrow the corrupt regime of Dr. Edmond Zuwanie (the other being Kuman Kuman). Xola was a socialist who had the backing of the working class people of Matobo, as well as Syliva and Simon Broome, and Phillipe Broullet. Xola was in a relationship with Sylvia until her skin color proved to be a hindrance to him. Xola was killed by Jean Gamba along with Simon Broome in an ambush set up by Zuwanie.
