M.L.F is not surprised by the so called
Dr Sikhanyiso Ndlovu's vitrol speared
on the people of Mthwakazi in general
and the organizers of the gukurahundi
commemoration in particular.
When he says the people of Mthwakazi,
by commemorating or condemning
gukurahundi, are opening wounds, he
must have been dreaming with his eye
wide open because Zanu PF never
apologized and thus they never closed
those wounds. Secondly, what is it that
pains him if the wounded himself rubs
salt on his/her wound?
One wonder how this " doctor"
reasons if he fail to realize that the
human nature refuses to forget a
happening of gukurahundi"s pedigree,
while the remains of the victims still lie
all over the place and in mass grave
and the perpetrators still walking free.
It must only be "doctor" Sikhanyiso
and those who remained behind in
Zanu when Dabengwa and company
realized the colonial Shonas were not
honest, sincere and did not really need
company from Mthwakazi, who
believed the wounds had healed and
need not opening. The "doctor"
further dreams that people should
concerntrate on "nation" building,
unity and development of the country.
First he appears to be so far removed
from the reality that these colonial
Shonas/Zimbabweans are advancing
minute by minute taking every space in
Mthwakazi, looting industrial
machinery and even forcing
indeginous Mthwakazi people to speak
their language. Yet Sikhanyiso speaks
of "nation" building or is it how they
build a nation in Harare. When he
further hallucinate about the revival of
industries, it show how much shallow
minded this "doctor" is, not realizing
that the government that he has
served in the 34years of it rule of the
so called Zimbabwe as a high ranking
official is bent on de-industrializing
Mthwakazi. I wonder if "doctor"
Sikhanyiso can avail himself to
comment on how many youths of
Mthwakazi have benefited from his
Zanu"s youth empowerment program
and how many Zimbabweans or
Mashonalanders have benefited from
the same program. So who does he
want to smear the mud for the lack of
development of Mthwakazi if he
doesn"t provide for the development
he expect to see taking place in
Mthwakazi. That alone leaves one
bewielders as to how does he expect,
Bulawayo, Bietbridge, Gwanda, Gogwe,
Gwelu, Plumtree, Nkayi, Lupane,
Tsholotsho, Wankie,Binga, Victoria Falls
e.t.c when his government is serving
and purporting to represent plans on
daily basis to strangle Mthwakazi of all
her resources, human, minerally and
and financially. Sikhanyiso must
understand that the unity that he refers
to a plaster that he purports to join
forever Zimbabwe and Mthwakazi, by
His Excellency Joshua Nkomo, only
served to stopping the cold blooded
killing of the people of Mthwakazi by
his(Sikhanyiso) party (Zanu) sponsored
gukurahundi and nothing else.
Sikhanyiso like we all know, knows that,
that unity was never and will never be
practical in our lifetime and that of
hundreds of generations to come.
May we tell "Dr" Sikhanyiso in his own
isindebele language that, " inkukhu
ingaze ibenhle kanjani, eKhozini
iyinyama kuphela". "Lawe ke kaNdlovu
loba ungazi sikela e hwahweni kanjani,
emaShoneni ubizwa ngenyoka, into
efanele ukuchobodiswa ikhanda".
"Hamba ukhangele i1979 Grand Plan
eyabhalwa yilowo leqembu lakho
iZanu, osithethisela yona eyiyo
eyabulala abantu bakithi ngaphandle
kwecala". "Hlala wazi ukuthi kubo
ufana lejazi loMkhwenyana nxa bebona
ukuthi sebekusebenzise kwanela
bazokulahla kuphela noma bakubulale
ngoba kuyilokho abazikufanele umuntu
wako Mthwakazi".
Sikhanyiso we would not have done
you any justice if we failed to remind
you that, Sydney Donald Malunga,
again in your isiNdebele language, "
Unganatha umsobho weZanu
awulungi". Ngalokho ngeke ulunge
Sikhanyiso ngaphandle uze ulungiswe.
We would like to remind you
Sikhanyiso that we are fully aware of
your aspirations to be Zanu PF's next
chairperson, yet another day light
dream kaNdlovu. When is it going to
dawn to you and your colleagues to
realize that you are in a foreign
Zimbabwean party on your own
accord and you do not represent the
interests of the people of Mthwakazi.
As a government minister and a
Politiburo member, can you tell the
people to say you represent what has
been your contribution towards the
development of "Matebeleland" from
the day you resumed that office to
date. What have you as an individual
done about the pot holes on the road
of your home town Bulawayo alone?
Can you point us to the development
that has been brought about by your
Zanu in 34years of its colonial rule of
Mthwakazi?
The people of Mthwakazi are tired of
the people like you continued
attachment of them with Zimbabwe for
your personal gains. You should
concerntrate on reminding your
Mugabe that although due to old age,
he is about to go and meet all those
souls he deprived of life on earth. Be
warned Sikhanyiso not to cross lines,
lest you die a sorry man like Enos
Mzombi Nkala.
Finally, May we make it known that as
M.L.F, we are fully behind Pastor Pius
Ncube, Hon Moses Mzila Ndlovu, Mr
Mbuso Fuzwayo and iBhetshu likaZulu
and all those who strive to serve the
interests of the people of Mthwakazi in
whichever case. And may it be known
by the likes of Sikhanyiso Ndlovu,
Robert Mugabe, Emmerson
Munangagwa, Perence Shiri, Chiwenga
and many more that we are not going
to rest until justice for gukurahundi is
done and the victims are given decent
burial . Sour or sweet to you, we are
going to force it happen.
Mthwakazi, from Beitbridge to Binga,
Plumtree to Qweqwe, we fully support
you and call upon you to remain
resolute and steadfast for these
genociders have to face the music even
if it takes longer than expected.
Alikathethwa Lihlezi eCourt
Alikathethwa. Vuka Mthwakazi Vuka.
