What we want is freedom of Mthwakazi not power less king - activist

Mthwakazi activist Hloniphani Ncube has said what the people of Mthwakazi want is their freedom and not powerless king who will not empower them.

"I was going through the latest news pertaining to the kingship issue whereby ZANU PF is saying they are ready to negotiate with the King. Apart from that, I heard the spokespersons of the King Bulelani C Khumalo saying the King is not worried about the territory and the political issue of Mthwakazi he just exists as the cultural head," he said.

"If thus the case then the King might not play the role of freeing Mthwakazi. What I want as an individual and many more people is the freedom of Mthwakazi and a constitutional monarchy. Cause if a King is reduced to be only the cultural head, then we have a serious problem and again if a King is not worried about his territory and his people scattered all over the world we have a serious problem."

He said he wishes the matter could be clarified cause what they need as Mthwakazi is their territory.

"In fact we need to rule ourselves and the king must facilitate that. The king must influence policies of our territory and revive the culture and also advise political. The king with his chief are also supposed to have their parliament where they pass resolutions and merge them with the government ones referring to the Mthwakazi governance because what we have under Zimbabwe is the system left by colonialists, which means systematically we are still colonised," he said.
