They stole our vote yes, but we still have our voices

Mthwakazi Republic Party has said it remains resolute in solidarity with the Bulawayo residents against the imposition of a foreign Mayor and his deputy in Bulawayo by the elements of the 'System'  within the Alliance.

The party said most of the Bulawayo residents are generally in agreement with MRP that if we don't stand up and defend our nation, there won't be Mthwakazi to talk about in a few years to come.

"Residents blame the  harmonized elections system as a major contributor to this confusion. They now want the council and parliamentary elections to be separated from the presidential elections," said the MRP.

"Our people ignorantly voted for more than a dozen of foreign Councillors in Bulawayo in the name of removing the evil ZANU PF party at the expense of securing political power in their own backyards through voting credible MPs and Councilors. Most of our people voted for a party they believed had a potential to remove zanu pf. The MDC-A has once again became the beneficiary of a protest vote that has come back to haunt the people of Matabeleland particularly Bulawayo as it has become clear that  ZANU and MDC are the same. We have always told our people that when it comes to Matabeleland issues Zanu pf and MDCs have the same agenda of undermining the people of Mthwakazi."

MRP said some of the people have since realised the fact that most people from Mashonaland do not have good intentions about Mthwakazi.

"We are disappointed as a party to note that the so called MDC-A after receiving our people's votes, thank them with a foreign Mayor. As Mthwakazi Republic Party we promised our people that the people's revolutionary party will not die regardless of the election results. We promised that we will protect, promote and defend Mthwakazi territories, elections or no elections," MRP said.

"Now we are doing exactly as we promised, the MDC-A councillors in Bulawayo should know that it's no longer business as usually in Bulawayo. We will no longer tolerate and allow their corruption. Those who abuse our people's hard-earned money will not go unpunished."

"Meanwhile, MRP would like to strongly warn the leadership of the none existent briefcase party called PDP  in Bulawayo who are now part of the cabal that calls itself MDC-A to resist for their own good the temptation of provoking the peace loving people of Bulawayo."

"Surely the people of Bulawayo are not the ones who nominated shameless foreign drunkards like Bastirai to represent this briefcase party. If they are genuine they must immediately fire the culprit and stop wasting their time threatening us."
