I don't really see what your argument is. It seems to be that the Shona were allegedly chattel slaves, despite revolting against the British early on, and therefore it was okay for us to conquer them and exploit them.
What political slavery?

As in we took over and run their country as we liked giving them little say and exploiting it for our own ends.

Invade Berwick-upon-Tweed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Being central to a border war between the Kingdoms of Scotland and England since the 11th century, the town has lain within England since 1482. However, lying as geographically north as Glasgow, Berwick has strong cultural links with Scotland.

Very true, however it was the European, and mainly British colonists who decided that African slaves would be ideal to farm the land that they had stolen from the owners, most of whom had been killed in the process.

No, they are not a threat to our security. It would be morally bankrupt for the lives of British soldiers to be wasted on this.

You say that as if it makes what we did any better. It doesn't, whether they had what we recognise as a state or not does not matter.

Are you being serious?

Just because a people are nomadic doesn't mean for a single instant that the lands they roam across are not theirs.

They weren't really nomadic anyway. And actually I'd argue that there is a limit to amount an nomadic tribe could claim. I don't think the whole of North America belonged to the Native Americans.
