Mthwakazi Republic Party on  Saturday held a successful campaign rally that was attended by two thousand people.

The day started with a tournament pitting seven local teams as organised by MRP Mtshazo district. The local teams who participated in the seven teams social soccer tournament were Thuli Pirates, Khozi FC, Barker Kickers, Sparrows, New stars, Phephula, and Thintanani. All participating teams were given soccer Balls and the winner got a football kit.

Villagers attended from as far as Gwandavale and  Khozi villages. The rally started at  15:00hours and ended at 17:00hrs. MRP National Organising Secretary Colmen Kanye took the opportunity to introduce the party's provincial executive members, who were in attendance and were led by their Chairpersons as well as introducing party Candidates who were in attendance including the Gwanda North party candidate Mcebisi  Dube.

According to Party President Mqondisi Moyo, the party had officially honoured the Local Chief by officially sending a word to Chief Mathema.

"We had asked Mr J Moyo who is a local village head, to inform the Chief. Mr Moyo today told people that MRP was free to campaign in the area just like any other party. What is important to the traditional leaders is that political parties should be peaceful and conduct their campaign in peace, we don't want violence in our area said Village Head Moyo," he said.

The opening prayer was done by Pastor W Ncube.

"All our party speakers from Youth, Women and council of elders emphasised the people to shun Harare parties and make sure they Vote their own Mthwakazi Party MRP. They also emphasised that MRP is Matabeleland people's party that is there to restore their dignity, culture and Nation," Moyo said.

"We are here to preserve your jobs, your wealth, your History and we remain united as people of Matabeleland in our diversity as different Matabeleland tribes, said Mr Xolani Ncube the National Youth chairman."

He said South Africa province was represented by Cde Nkosi. Nkosi asked villagers to vote MRP so that their children will come back home from South Africa, where life is not as simple as people think.

"Nkosi said it is important that industries begin to employ locals so that we won't have to risky our lives going to SA illegally or staying there illegally.
Bulawayo and the rest of Matabeleland has the capacity to build a powerful industrial hub for Africa like Jo'burg is today we have what it takes.

Moyo addressed villagers assuring them that Mthwakazi shall never die. Moyo told villagers that the people of Matabeleland are rising up and just yesterday Bulawayo Arts Awards was launched at the large city Hall in Bulawayo.

The  Chiefs and the Khumalo family are also busy mobilising and putting everything in place and we are hoping they will unveil Ithole this year as promised.

He said these are practical examples I am just telling you now that shows that the Restoration Agenda is in place and is shaping up.

"The best way to protect Mthwakazi Nation begin with me, with you, with all of us, register to vote and vote MRP as a starting point. We are doing the best that we can to restore Mthwakazi back as it was before 1923," Moyo said.
