Mthwakazi Liberation Front has said it is taboo for the children in Mthwakazi area to be compulsorily taught Shona at schools saying the government must not seek to force children in the region to learn the language.
The party spokesperson Ndabezinhle Fuyane said while children in the region may need to learn anything as the Primary and Secondary Education Minister Lazarus Dokora has said, it is unfair Mthwakzai for children top be forced to learn Shona.
"Shona will not be taught in Mthwakazi even in 100 years to come,if thus how as a minister you want to demonise our innocent children, then that would be the end of your career as a minister in that sector," he said.
Fuyane said the education standards were flowing smoothly in the region before Dokora was appointed minister as he want to change everything for the sake of changing with no objective at all.
Dokora recently said Shona and Ndebele could be taught at schools through out the country.
"In whose expense will our children taught Shona in Mthwakazi? Those Shona teachers in those particular schools should be ready to leave the region as we will not tolerate this to happen anymore," he said.
"Enough is enough,Mthwakazians we mustn't allow this to take place,we are fighting for our rights as a state. In fact,the Zanu' s grand plan of 1979 must come to an end. Mthwakazians, civic organisations and all stakeholders let us rally behind each other and stop the injustices."
