On the 5th November 2016 saw the biggest gathering of the Mthwakazi nation at Gadade, commemorating the gallant stand by the Mthwakazi defence forces in defence of the Mthwakazi nation. In 1893, 3rd November saw regiments such as the mighty iNgubo, iNqobo, iHlathi, iNsukamini, Ameva, iNduba iMbizo and many others taking a brave stand in Mbembesi area against the heavily and dangerously armed white colonialists.
This year's commemorative event was organised by uMhlahlo wesizwe sikaMthwakazi, a civic organisation whose aim is to aid the restoration of the Mthwakazi state.
This year the event was graced by members of the Siphesakhe Youth Organisation, a South African youth group best known for their hard-hitting theatre play called uLoyiko which narrates the emotional issues of the gukurahundi genocide.
"We were invited by uMhlahlo the organisers and conveners of the Gadade commemorations, we are ever so grateful for the invite, we had an opportunity to engage and interact with the elders and the youth present, we felt as if we were true Matebeles ourselves" lamented Siphelo Mtshetsha a member of the Siphesakhe Youth Organisation.
Mr Yanga Mhluzi was given an opportunity to address the gathering, in his speech he showed rare bravery akin to the Matebele warriors of 1893. "Don't allow Mugabe to tell you how you should fight your struggle, he will tell you that violence is not good, but be reminded that all he has today came through violence" Mr Mhluzi told an ecstatic crowd which cheered him on.
"I am not saying that you should use violence, I will be like Mugabe if I suggested to you how you should fight your struggle, coalesce towards each other as a people, never be afraid to sit down together and come up with strategies for your freedom" Mr Mhluzi said.
Mr Mhluzi narrated how the white people together with the Shona batmen conspired to destroy the mighty nation of Mthwakazi.
"The Jameson line should be restored, the Jameson line was the border between Mthwakazi and MaShonaland, this is an internationally recognised border between the two nations" said Mr Mhluzi.
"Your salvation and your children's salvation lies in the restoration of the Jameson Line, the restoration of the Jameson line would be the restoration of the Mthwakazi sovereignty" Mr Mhluzi implored the crowd.
This year's event was vibrant and bigger in terms of numbers; the event came at an opportune time when most Mthwakazi citizens have started clamouring for the coronation of their King and for the restoration of the Mthwakazi nation. The Khumalos have promised the Mthwakazi people a King by next year.
