Mthwakazi must fall Video, Please allow me to address a dead man

Dear dead man, I hope your spirit reads this from the valley of dry bones.

Firstly Dry Bones, you are referring to yourself as "us Shona people", please Dry Bones, you are all alone. You are not "us Shona people".

Secondly Dry Bones, during your life on earth, you failed to acquire education. By the time you begun to understand a few sentences in English language, you begun to feel too confident and awarded yourself the Degree of Knowledge.

Here is how much you are ignorant:-

- 72% of the great Ndebele Nation are Kalanga,Tonga, Venda, Karanga, Rozvi and Nambya and they are the Hole segment of thegreat Ndebele Nation. So, dry dead bones, what do you mean when you address yourselfas "Us Shona" Do you even know that Mzilikazi gave you the name Shona? Shona is Mzilikazi's word for "Tshona" meaning hide in Zulu. You used to hide in trees during a battle with Mzilikazi warriours. Hide, tshona, hense Shona or amaShona. The word Shona has no meaning in Shona, you need to thank the Ndebele for giving you a precious name which best describes you.

Please help yourself, go back to school. The Ndebele Nation is the most diverse Nation in the World. Ndebele is NOT ATRIBE!!! It is a Nation comprising of all tribes of Southern Africa including the Nyanja, Lozi and Bemba.

- Ignorance emanating from your upbringing, especially upbringing by an, angry, tribalist, ignorant Shona single mother, is your family problem. Your family problem is not a Shona problem. Let me repeat so that you research if you have the necessary education to carry out a credible research, the Ndebele Nation is comprised mostly of the Shona.

- King Mzilikazi left KwaZulu in 1819 with only 600 men. By the time he reached Zimbabwe, he had accumulated some thirty thousand men from different Southern African tribes. At the time of his death in 1879, the Ndebele Nation had grown to 900 000. These were people assimilated locally and thus why MLF party is led by names like Mbonisi Gumbo or Mqondisi Moyo. These are predominantly Shona people who were assimilated to create the Ndebele Nation. If you remove Moyo or Gumbo from the Ndebele Nation, there is no Ndebele left.

There is no Moyo in Zululand and neither is there a Gumbo. Please do your research before you hallucinate from the valley of dead bones. Moyo is a Shona word meaning "heart". Gumbo is a Shona word meaning "leg". These words have no meaning in any other language in the universe except the Shona language. So, Dry Bones, the Shona people who are a large segment of the Ndebele Nation are saying they want the Mthwakazi Nation to resume it's pre-1923 status.

You and your family and your ignorance think you are the Shona who own Zimbabwe and Mbonisi Gumbo and Mqondisi Moyo, together with five million other Ndebele people are saying they want to succeed from Shona poor Governance.

- Look and listen to yourself on the video and hear yourself saying "we the Shona were divided and incoherent when Mzilikazi came". You know Dry Bones, you are the only Shona who has admitted that the Shona were disorganised, incoherent and weak when they were defeated by Mzilikazi. Some Shona are shy to talk about this because how it was in 1830 is exactly what it is today under the Shona rule. That's why evolved Shonas like MLF Gumbo and Moyo do not like to be ruled by un-evolved Shona like Mugabe and you.

Shona leadership from Mutota has always been characterised by illogical incoherence which you unashamedly admit in front of your own camera. Look here Dead Bones, there is nothing that the Shona can touch which adds value since history.

- When the Shona came to Zimbabwe from the North of Limpopo in AD 900, the country was run by the San and the Kalanga people.

The Shona came to Zimbabwe Dry Bones! They did not create Zimbabwe. They came to a country that was already inhibited just as Mzilikazi and Cecil John Rhodes. The rhetoric you are using is a Mugabe, son of Malawian rhetoric. Thus what foreigners do if they are allowed to settle in a country. They become more rhetoric than the owners of the country which still happens today with Kenneth Kaunda, Adolf Hitler, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Robert Malawian Mugabe or Ian Scottish Smith. With your kind of rhetoric, it is possible that you are originally from Burundi or Mozambique. You are looking for recognition because if you were Zimbabwean, you would know that Gukurahundi was used by Mugabe Malawian against the Ndebele and you would not spew froth that Zimbabweans have always been united.

We were united before sons of foreigners, like you, came to exploit our tribal diversity. We were united in 1956 before Mugabe came to divide us in 1961.

You did not fight the liberation struggle and I did. All you are saying "we Shona" is a language designed to exploit our tribal formation. What you lack to understand because you are a Burundian foreigner is that Ndebele is actually made up of the Shona.

Which Shona do you know which is more hierarchical than Moyo and Gumbo? Is it Matibili?

Dry Bones, go back to the valley of death and leave diversified Zimbabweans to deal with their politics.

The Shona in Mthwakazi are saying there is nothing that an un-evolved Shona leader can increase in Zimbabwe. Moyo and Gumbo in MLF are saying Mzilikazi found a weak country in Zimbabwe in 1830 and improved it which attracted Cecil John Rhodes. Colonial Rhodes improved the country handing Mugabe one of the best countries in the World. Mugabe's un-evolved Shona cultured leader who have a tradition of incoherence and corrosive nature, has corroded the country back to pre-Mzilikazi time. Nothing is united now in Zimbabwe, not even Zanu PF, not even adhesives which bind tar to the road. Our hospitals, Schools, Airlines, Currency, Industries, Courts,Police, Farms and vegetation have been corroded back to 200 years.

This is why the Shona like Moyo and Gumbo are saying enough of Shona corrosivity is enough. We now want a synergised Ndebele Nation to work its prosperity away from MaShona divisive leadership where Rugare Gumbo, Joyce Mujuru and Dydimus Mutasa have learnt that Shona leadership is all about incoherence as it was during Matope days.

Diversity is strength and Mthwakazi is diverse.
