IBhetshu likaZulu Honour Mthwakazi Heroes

Monday, 11 August 2008

Bulawayo pressure group, IBhetshu likaZulu held a Heroes' Day commemmoration for Mthwakazi Heroes in Bulawayo. Those remembered as heroes included the likes of Gwesela according to Qhubekani Dube, the Director of the group.

The memorial was held at Amakhosi Cultural Centre in Bulawayo and brought together former Zipra commanders, Bulawayo residents and members of Ibhetshu lika Zulu.

Dube said that there is need to honour Mthwakazi heroes because of the way they have been sidelined by the Zanu (PF) led government. He said the heroes honoured included King Mzilikazi, King Lobengula and modern day heroes like Mthandazo Ndema Ngwenya and Lookout Masuku.

A lot is going on in the land of Mzilikazi and I can assure you that we have let our fore fathers down, their victories that we have so easily given away to Shonas. Right now they have clearly shown us that it has never been about us . They have concluded that they have come together and shared the so caled power. I see we have slowly been thrown out of the picture and you can rest assured its going to be tough for the nation of Mzilikazi to find its feet again.

Vuka MahlabeZulu - Asisukume sakhe isizwe sakwaBulawayo . We are not a tribe we are a nation .

	This is quiet disturbing that a person like Gwesela is perceived as a hero,how could he when thousands of civilians were masscared during his dissident reign. I seek clarification! Why not honour Njini Ntuta- Insuza Mp who got killed for revealing the identity of who was behind the death of the six british tourist along the Victoria falls road.
