THE Zimbabwe People's First (ZimPF) party has been slammed for failing to spell isiNdebele names after it pasted posters with wrongly spelt words in Bulawayo. Leading to its star rally at Stanley Square in Makokoba on Saturday, ZimPF put up posters all over the city with wrongly spelt isiNdebele words.Read one poster: "Bhaki beZimbabwe ngokuthula . . . Bhaki iZimbabwe thatha," instead of Bakhi beZimbabwe ngokuthula…bakhi iZimbabwe . . . (peaceful builders of Zimbabwe . . .)
Analysts said ZimPF's failure to consult isiNdebele speakers is evidence that they have no respect for the people whose vote they are courting. The analyst said it was shocking that the party disregards a people's language, an important factor in cultural identity.
