Mnangagwa exhibits double standards & hypocrisy while in New York

MLO was shocked but not surprised to see genocidist, Emmerson Mnangagwa, display hypocrisy, double standards and tribal biasness on international media outlets while in New Yoke.
That Mnangagwa hates the people of Matabeleland with a passion is a well known fact that can be backed with undisputable evidence. At the height Matabeleland genocide he once referred to Matabeles as cockroaches that needed to be exterminated using DDT (National Army 5th Brigade). But no one amongst us could guess or even think that Emmerson Mnangagwa would show his tribal side on international media.
He told the CNN that what happened two days after the Zimbabwe elections was regrettable. "A day before I came here I appointed a commission of enquiry to deal with that because I felt that it would not be proper for ourselves to investigate ourselves. I felt that it was necessary to have an outside enquiry," he said.
Of Matabeleland genocide he said, "I have appointed a Peace and National Reconciliation Commission".
Make no mistake, he was referring to the very commission that was chased away from three venues in Matabeleland because it is dominated by shona people. The very people who are direct or indirect beneficiaries of Matabeleland colonisation and shona supremacy system. Despite the fact that Mnangagwa's commission was chased away from Matabeleland because of its unneutral nature he insisted that the government will comply with its reports and recommendations.
Outside enquiry for six shona people who were killed by the National Army after 30 July elections because "I felt it was improper for ourselves to investigate ourselves"? The issue is given priority and urgency. In a short space of one month the neutral international commission led by former President of SA Halima Motlante is in place. Is it because those who died belong to the superior tribe in Southern Africa?
A commission composed of shonas only, Zanupf apologists and beneficiaries of shona supremacy system for Matabeleland genocide " because I felt that we must bring finality to this issue". Here he finds it very proper for perpetrators to investigate themselves. What double standards! What selective justice!
What tribalism and hate! What is not proper for shonas is not proper for Matabeles.
It shows that President Mnangagwa like former President Robert Mugabe treats shona people and Matabeles differently. When it comes to more than 40 000 Matabele civilians that were killed by the National Army 5th Brigade, over 100 000 that were raped, over 100 000 that lost their homes and over a million that were displaced, the government of Zimbabwe can investigate itself, something that they cannot do with 6 shona people who were killed after elections? And President Emmerson Mnangagwa had the guts to say it publicly before international news outlets. What is this if it is not discrimination? What is this if it is not tribalism, selective justice and oppression?
Shame on him! We are watching and we know that the shona only commission was was given the task to use the so called 1870s raids and what they term as "1980s disturbances" to justify Matabeleland genocide and that leading questions are being asked by the commission to achieve predetermined results. That is why Emmerson Mnangagwa confidently said he will make the findings of the commission public. The perpetrator appointed the commission after all and he knows the results already because they are predetermined.
Matabeles must reject the report of the tribally unbalanced and unuetral commission and appoint their own neutral commission that will produce genuine findings.
Above all let us join hands with MLO in our struggle for the restoration of Matabeleland statehood and sovereignty. Under shona supremacist government there will never be justice and freedom for Matabeles but more bondage, more tribal discrimination, more anguish and more tears.
