MOST banks in Bulawayo are staffed by Shona people including the unskilled labour force, according to Thabitha Khumalo the sitting Member of the National of Assembly for Bulawayo East Constituency.
Khumalo was contributing to a debate on a motion which beamed the marginalisation of the region
"I went and parked my car at Bulawayo Rainbow and a young lady opened the gate for me. I was so impressed because women were now opening boom gates," said Khumalo.
"I was shocked when she said Hon Khumalo help me find a job. I said where do you come from? She said that she was from Marondera. I went to the management of Rainbow and asked them if there was no one in Bulawayo who could pick and push the boom gate.
"Talking of that marginalisation, today the only infrastructure that is in Bulawayo was left by the colonizers and the pensions funds. Mr. Speaker Sir, let us avoid another Rwanda."
Vice president Phelekezela Mphoko, National Healing and Reconciliation minister, said no one should be allowed to plunge back Zimbabwe into another Gukurahundi.
"It does not mean that because you are Tonga, or Manyika or Muzezuru you are better than me, no, no, there is nothing like that. The moment we go into those pieces of tribes, we are finished as a country," he said.
Mphoko urged Ndebele people to be competitive in order to starve Shona's of their share.
"No, no please, there is no law which says a Shona is better than a Ndau. If you allow them it is your fault," he said.
