LEST WE FORGET, THESE WERE THE WORDS ISSUED BY OUR DARLING PRESIDENT, JUST A WEEK BEFORE THE INFAMOUS ZANU PF NIKUV VICTORY OF 31 ST JULY 2013. WITH A PRESIDENT WHO THINKS SO LOWLY ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE MATEBELELAND REGION, IS IT ANY SURPRISE TO ANYONE, THAT, AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE SEEK APOLOGIES, HEALING, UNITY, AND UNITY OVER THE GUKURAHUNDI GENOCIDE, HE WOULD ISSUE SUCH VILE STATEMENTS WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO MATEBELELAND SOUTH AND WITHIN A YEAR AS WE NOW HAVE SEEN, SEVERAL SCHOOLS WITHIN THE REGION, INCLUDING, MTHWAKAZI, MPALAWANI, GWAMANYANGA, MPOPOTI AND ZHABAZHA PRIMARY SCHOOLS ARE NOW TEACHING SHONA IN PLACE OF NDEBELE AS THE INDIGENOUS LANGAUAGE. THE REGION MUST AWAKEN TO THIS ZANU PF GRAND PLAN AND RECLAIM ITS BIRTH RIGHTS SUCH AS CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND RIGHT TO INTERNAL SELF DETERMINATION ON VARIOUS SOCIAL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS AS PROTECTED IN THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER AND INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS AS A RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLE. I MUST CLEARLY EMPHASISE THAT THE CONCEPT OF DEVOLUTION, NOT CESSATION, STRONGLY COMES TO MIND ON THIS ASPECT AND SHOULD EQUALLY APPLY NATIONWIDE AS A RIGHT OF AL TRIBES AND REGIONS OF ZIMBABWE. MATEBELELAND AS A REGION NEEDS TO WAKE UP, IN DEFENCE OF ITS LANGUAGE, CULTURE, IDENTITY AND BASIC RIGHTS INTERNAL SELF DETERMINATION, UNITE AND RALLY BEHIND A CREDIBLE OPPOSITION FRONT THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD TO ACCOUNT FOR EACH AND EVERY ACTION BY THE LEGISLATORS, ONCE IN POWER. THE TIME FOR TALK SHOWS AND TEARS OVER SPILT MILK IS LONG GONE. ITS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SIMILARLY PROGRESSIVELY MINDED PEOPLE, DUMP ANY BAGGAGE, START ON A CLEAN SLATE AND WORK WITH THOSE ON THE REGIONS SIDE. EITHER ONE IS FOR THE REGIONS DEVELOPMENT OR NOT. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR FENCE SITTERS. THE ISSUE IS ABOUT A REGION AND THEREFORE AS LONG AS ONE IS A ZIMBABWEAN, HAS THE REGION AT HEART, IT DOESNT MATTER WHETHER THEY ARE COLOURED, BLACK, OR WHITE. A UNITY OF PURPOSE AGAINST A COMMON ENEMY, NOT FOR OURSELVES BUT FOR OUR CHILDREN AND DESCENDANTS AND THE FUTURE OF THE MOTHERLAND IS ALL THAT WE AS A NATION NEED,....NOW!
