The Zanu-PF and the War Veterans have put forward several demands to the President of Zimbabwe, Mr. Robert Mugabe concerning their Welfare.

Some of the issues raised in a meeting in Harare was the removal of Cecil John Rhodes remains from the National Heritage in Matopo Hills.

The Self-righteous Colonialists need to be repatriated back to England, the grave perceived by many citizens as a constant reminder of the atrocities perpetrated against the Black People to gain control of the Resources produced by the African land.

In the last few months several incidents have occurred in some institutions for the removal of the statue of the man perceived as a hero by few elites in South Africa.

It seems we have reached a point were the Colonialist's should take back their belongings and give back what is owed to the African People.

The Rhodesian Regime destroyed many lives and changed the whole history of this Black continent to serve their greedy appetites.

Rhodes kaNjube kaLobengula has suffered such fate to be denied a place among his people, hence it should be more appropriate at this juncture to repatriate and replace the colonialist's with our brother who was against his will separated from his Clan.

It is the heir birthright to be buried with his forefathers, a suitable site for a person of his statue whether in Entumbane near King Mzilikazi or in Matopo Hills. It is time that the African People should be stand "united" in all efforts to rewrite our History and maintain our Heritage.

Our Socio-Economic Dynamics are entwined with our past Culture and Heritage, hence it is imperative that we do not separate one from the other as we demand our Rights as Public Citizens.

The SADC States share common sentiments against the White Supremacy that have alienated us from our culture and liberty to Self-preservation and made us slaves of Western dogma.

The African People, including those in the Diaspora have the power to change our Socio-Economic imbalance through unity, as One African Nation, Sizwe Sethu.

We have all the Resources that we need to succeed in this economic uncertainty without the constant dependency to Western civilasation.
