Mugabe attacked over Kalanga uneducated remarks

President Robert Mugabe has received a barrage of attacks after he said Kalangas are uneducated and troop into South Africa to commit criminal activities.

George Mkhwananzi said it is  true that thoroughly advanced age (senility) is a disease.

"Otherwise how do you explain utterances by a whole president (Robert Mugabe) attacking the Kalanga people of Zimbabwe and branding them as criminals in South Africa?" said Mkhwananzi.

Dorothy Ncube said Mugabe thinks that people who go to South Africa are from Matabeleland.

"I doubt I think we are having dogs set on us here," she said.

Mdungazwe Mathe said while Mugabe is saying that people like Simon Khaya Moyo who are Kalangas just watch and ululate their boss while he is attacking their tribe.

 Clifton Mkhwananzi said eight buses ferried people to Harare last week, were they Kalangas?

"Those three Mubebwegwi's Bruce's, are they also Kalangas?" he said.

Her then asked if it was a crime to be Ndebele and Kalanga.

President Robert Mugabe says foreigners in South Africa should leave the country as some of them, including some members of Zimbabwe's Kalanga tribe, are engaged in criminal activities, VOA reported.

Addressing journalists in Zimbabwe on Wednesday after the end of the Southern African Development Community Extra Ordinary Summit in Harare. Mugabe said most foreigners are causing havoc in South Africa, where there was an outbreak of xenophobic attacks recently, which left 7 people dead.

The president said some Kalangas living in South Africa, where President Jacob Zuma said recently South Africa is not solely to blame for the violence against foreigners, are criminals.

Mugabe bemoaned the instinct by Kalangas to just cross the border to South Africa, saying the mentality where 'going to South Africa was regarded as going to heaven on earth remains in some of our people.
