President Robert Mugabe says he wonders if his partners in the Global Political Agreement (GPA) have
roots and ancestry in Zimbabwe given the loyalty to former colonisers to
whom they want to give back the land.
Mugabe was speaking at Gwenzi Village in Zvimba during the burial of Headman Chimbamauro, Mr Enock Chipuriro, who died in Harare last Saturday.
He described Headman Chimbamauro as a charismatic figure who loved his people and promoted unity.
Mugabe called for mutual co-existence of the original inhabitants of Zvimba and those who migrated from other areas across the country, saying such should be the case in a united Zimbabwe.
He urged the nation to be wary of sell-outs as the country gears for elections.
Local Government and Rural and Urban Development Minister, Dr Ignatius Chombo, who also attended the traditional leader's burial, commended Headman Chimbamauro for his wise leadership and involvement in the land reform programme.
Headman Chimbamauro succumbed to diabetes at the age of 86.
