2024 General Mgandani Human Rights Award Speech by 1893 Deputy Executive Director, Greater Sibanda, delivered on 21.12.2024
The 1893 Mthwakazi Human Rights Restoration Movement (1893 MHRRM) was established on November 13, 2016.
The organization is dedicated to advocating for the human rights of the people of Matabeleland, a region in Zimbabwe.
Its mission is to restore the social, economic, educational, historical, cultural, language, and territorial rights of the Matabele people.
The movement is named after the year 1893, which marks significant historical events for the Matabeleland Kingdom, such as the first resistance by General Mgandani Dlodlo. Dlodlo was a prominent military figure in the Matabeleland Kingdom.
He played a pivotal role in the 1893 debut resistance against colonial forces. His leadership and bravery were instrumental during this critical period.
Tragically, General Mgandani Dlodlo was killed, and his body was desecrated by the Pioneer Column, who took away his testicles as a trophy. His sacrifice and contributions are remembered as a testament to the resilience and courage of the Matabele people.
These wars were pivotal in the resistance against colonization and are a source of pride and historical significance for the Matabele people.
1893 MHRRM is not a political party, but a human rights organization focused on addressing past injustices and promoting the rights and dignity of the Matabele people.
Over the years, the movement has been involved in various initiatives, including cultural preservation, education, and advocacy for justice and human rights.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the uLOYIKO Theatre Group from South Africa for their courage in informing the world about the past injustices that occurred in Matabeleland, including the Gukurahundi, a highly topical issue.
Thank you, uLOYIKO, for your bravery and dedication to raising awareness and fostering dialogue around these critical human rights issues.
