IBhetshu likaZulu Honour Mthwakazi Heroes

Lookout MasukuBulawayo 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.

 

In 2007 Ibhetsu likaZulu held a memorial for the Matabeleland Genocide at the Bulawayo Cathedral on the anniversary of the deployment of the Fifth Brigade.

This is a wonderful development to honour our own heroes and for sure and for sure Qedu Nyathi ( who commanded Matojeni as Lobengula's right hand military comannder) is included and allheroes known and unknown .I think we should have our own tomb of the unknown soldiers , our heroes who fought hard for this Mthwakazi of ours . Vumani Mandebele!

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.

Ye maNdebele, kuhle ukluncoma umsebenzi owenziwe yiqembu lika Bhetshu kodwa singami khonapho. Kasi sekeleni imzamo yabo nge material resources abazifunayo ukuze baqhubeke kuhle. Kufuneka imali, ipetulo, ukudla,icomputers, ama printer etc kasibancedeni singabi ngabakhuluma nje kuphela.

Where do we stand ?
written by Henceford OkaMkhaliphi , September 20, 2008
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 .

Let's not be tribalistic
written by Njabulo Gahlula , October 31, 2009
I am Ndebele but I'm shocked by the blatant tribalism in your paper. Did the editor go to school? Is he sane...Are you really OK upstairs Mr Editor. I think it's stupid in this day and age to come up with a paper dedicated to promoting tribalism. Who are the real Ndebeles anyway?

Umhlahlo,MPC,ZAPU and all the pro Ndebele groups, Nguni, abakalang a(kalanga)Tonga, Venda, and all the tribes of Matabeleland you have been labelled minority deprived of your first right on this earth FREEDOM INKULULEKO, okwahuquluzwa ngamasela ababulali izikliwi. Siyabonga bhetshu likazulu ngomsebenzi omuhle. Indaba kaMthwakazi ayilula inzima umhlaba wonke ukhangele ngelihlo elilezondo mixed with fear of a nation that has been oppressed for so long. Some of them ngabantu abangomakhelwane some of them are our friends and lovers. Our song for freedom dates back 114 years ago when amakhiwa took over to today when we the mighty nation of warriors defeated them in open battle only to be sold out by the opportunistic Shona tribe who today continue to oppress us economically, social and politically. If we dare speak about it we are labelled victims even abanye abafowethu bacina besikhuza engathi thina yithi esihlukuluza abanye, ikanti thina yithi amavictims.

To all Shonas in Zimbabwe know this we have tried to live peacefully with you and we have also tried to build a nation with you. All you have done is betray the people of Mthwakazi. This evidenced by the following
Genocide
Deliberate marginalization in all spheres of government
Targeted looting of funds
Political dishonesty ZANU PF, MDC(all two)
You are now trying to even rig the constitution making process, anyway just forget about the constitution the lie is over its coming to an end.
We are happy to say that we have finally reached the highest quest for our freedom.

To all Ndebele apologists and sellouts for personal gain you have gave up you freedom, sold it for leftovers from your oppressive masters. Lingabantu bani abalahla inkululeko yenu to this modern shona apartheid.

To those who remain true to the struggle madoda labomama inkosi ilibone qiniselani emsebenzini omuhle.

BHETSHU LIKAZULU SIYABONGA NGOBUQHAWE BENU MINA NGITHI PHAMBILI NGENKULULEKO
ASIPHINDENI FUTHI LUMSEBENZI KHATHESI ASIWUFAKENI NGEHEROES DAY. WE WILL OWNER THOSE TRUE HEROES AGAIN AND WE WILL MOURN OUR STOLEN FREEDOM AND THE VICTIMS OF SHONA IMPERIALISM.

"BORN WITH THE RIGHT TO BE FREE SAZALWA SILELUNGELO LENKULULEKO" IF WE TO BE PERSECUTED FOR IT SO BE IT.

Ngizwa ngiloleka ingqondo ngiphinde ngimile umhlonga uma ngibona lisenzenje lina baka Malandela oNdlela zimhlophe, abehlula amabhunu ephethisigwagwa lathi "vala ngebhetshu, vala ngebhetshu" litsho ligwaza lisiyaphambili lingahlehli. Wajkhala u Wilson Umntwanomhlophe wathi "hayikhona bulalazonke tshiya munye kuphela"

Angikhululmi ngalokhu okusamuntu, okukhuluma angathi ngumuntu ohudula izenge. Laba abatshintsha umbala njengo nwabu/gwayivi. Bayathi sibambene lamuhla bona besenza eyabo imihlangano ngasese. Into eyenziwa litshona iphumele yikuthiya amagundwane ngomgqomo wamanzi.
