Mthwakazi Republic Party spokesperson Mbonisi Gumbo has said it was very unreasonable for some people in Zimbabwe to describe them as tribalists and extremist as Zanu PF leadership have openly shown that they were the most tribalists.
This comes in the wake of First lady Grace Mugabe having humiliated Chimurenga musician Chinx's wife Zodwa in what analyst viewed as
insinuating her as an intruder because she has a Ndebele name. Also the trend that is prevailing in the country is that Ndebeles can only be Vice
presidents while Home affairs minister Ignatius Chombo sparked outrage after saying Gukurahunding is a non issue.
"We did not ask Zanu PF's two Politburo members to insult us, we were not even there both at Parliament and at Chinx house where Grace said Ntombi should not get her share of inheritance of her husband and Chombo said Gukurahundi is a non issue," Gumbo said.
"It is therefore unreasonable and stupidity for any one to call us tribalists or extremists for calling these two to order. We did not write Grace statement it just happened that we are fighting Shona Supremacy and their belief that Ndebeles come second. We now have deputy VPs, deputy ministers, deputy toilet cleaners, deputy wives, etc and grace said a deputy Ndebele wife is not entitled to inheritance when she has inherited Sally's husband and wealth what hypocrisy?"
"We didn't create the coincidence NO, it was Chinx who created it. The issue by some politicians of blaming journalists for their own blunders
must stop saying they were misquoted nonsense, what were they saying? People must be consistent and be willing to take responsibility of their
statements. Our duty as MRP is to guard against anyone who messes up with Mthwakazi. We defend , and attack anyone who messes up with us," he added.
He said his boss Mqondisi Moyo has been consistent since he joined Matabeleland activism in 2004 and has been arrested more than 10 times and
still speaking one thing free Matabeleland , advising people to google him from where he started he is still there.
"I also joined in 2009 and have been consistent in what I believe in both of us has never been misquoted we say exactly what we mean. People should be consistent always stop the blame game," he said.
"So Grace and Chombo owes us,"he said.
