MLO Supreme Council and Revolutionary Committee together with the entire membership and supporters were shocked and devastated by the news that Cde Paul Siwela's mother Gezephi Dube passed on this morning in Bulawayo.

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to both Siwela and Dube families as our hearts are with them as they grieve the loss of their beloved member of the family. Sithi akuhlanga lungehlanga. Ayilale ngenxeba. Sonke sikhala nani.

It is very painful that Cde Paul Siwela who was forced into exile by the government of Zimbabwe after receiving an assassination tip off was not allowed to visit his mother while she was sick and is also barred from attending her funeral by the cruel government of Zimbabwe.

The same government that brutally slaughtered more than 40 000 unarmed innocent Matebele civilians in the 1980s and could not allow their relatives to attend funerals, re-bury their loved ones or hold memorial services in their remembrance, is the same government that denies Cde Paul Siwela the right to attend her mother's funeral today.

This is an indication that their evil agenda to physically wipe out Matebele nation through genocide or cause psychological pain is far from being over.

As MLO we will not fold our hands and watch while our leaders and the people of Matebeleland are dehumanised and treated like animals in the small prison called Zimbabwe.

Kuyoze kube nini Mahlabezulu?
