Mthwakazi Republic Party has expressed reservations about Primary and secondary Education Minister Lazarus Dokora's claims that in Mashonaland and Manicaland the government has started teaching Ndebele at school amid concerns he was trying to hoodwink the people in Matabeleland so as to trick them to accept the teaching of Shona in local schools.

Khumbulani Ndabezitha Luphahla MRP Lupane District official said they visited Fatima High School in Lupane where Dokora was addressing a meeting with school heads and SDC members.

"In this meeting Dokora tried to spread his ZANU PF propaganda to our Mthwakazi people saying in Manicaland and Mashonaland they have started teaching Ndebele as a compulsory subject. He said those children taught Ndebele are also not allowed to speak Shona or English during their Ndebele or Tonga day," he said.

"By doing this, Dokora is trying to fulfill the 1979 Zanu pf Grand Plan through destroying our language and also our identity since language carries identity. Dokora is also trying to convince us as Mthwakazi to accept his bribe and allow Shona language to be taught among Mthwakazi Schools."

He said however,as Mthwakazi they can't tolerate this because we consider it as a matter of sublime, mysticism and nonsense, that is a concept of misnomer.

"As MRP we asked him why he is spreading venom to us as Mthwakazi by deploying his Shona teachers in our schools. As a man in a pool of propaganda, Dokora tried to run away from the truth mentioning stupid things like the creation of School Development Account. In this case, how can schools create those accounts whilst they are suffering from hunger and also being oppressed by the Shonas?" he said.

"Though CIOs acted as if they are parents and supported Dokora but almost 90% of those who attendant supported us though they were overpowered by the Gukurahundi fears."

He said MRP Secretary General asked on why the Deputy Minister of Education Paul Mavhima about why are they busy blaming foreign countries, nations instead of dealing with their Education problems in Matebeleland.

"In response to this, Mavhima said he cannot answer such a question like this because its about Zimbabwean policy issues and then refereed this to Dokora. Surprisingly, Dokora also ran away from almost all of SGs questions and suggested that in Mthwakazi there are lot of difficulties. He also spoke about the so called National pledge, wish we believe its meant to brain wash our kids with Zanu PF Propaganda," he said.

"And this. Is how we feel about all this? This opening part was designed to capture the attention and allegiance of an increasingly christianised society, and ensure a sacred subservient to the whole string of hidden evil that follows. Christians have a tendency to follow as holy anything done under God's name,....here Zanu PF is taking people for a free ride."
