The King Lobengula Foundation in conjunction with the Amakhosi Cultural Group are hosting an Event for the Mathebeleland Delegates, comprising of Chief Nyangazonke; Khula Thobela - the High Priest at Njelele Shrine; Albert Matshelela; and Luke Mnkandla - Board Member of Highlanders F.C. It is expected that certain members in our society who have vested interest in the History and Heritage of African People will be among those who will give honour to the heir to the throne of King Lobengula, the son of Mzilikazi kaMatshobana on the 20th of Feb 2016 at Fingo Village, Grahamstown.
The King Lobengula Foundation has invited different Stakeholders from the Public Service, our Local Municipal Council, the Mayor Cllr.N.Gaga and the Premier of the Province, Mr. PG. Masualle and the Private Sector to be part of this prestigious Cultural Event that is meant to unite and build Long-term Relationships for both Countries.
The Socio-Economic Impact of this event will benefit the Communities of Kwa-Ndancama, Fingo Village including the greater Cacadu Region and Mathebeleland by means of new Trade and Tourism Routes to be established in the next 10yrs prior to the 2026, Centennial Celebration of its founding. It is the "Window of opportunity" to bring forth Innovative and New Methods that would stabilize our SADC Region, Politically and Economically.
The event is meant to kick-start bilateral negotiations between South Africa and Zimbabwe to the envisaged plan by Princess Zila and the Ndebele People to repatriate the bones of Alban Njube kaLobengula kaMzilikazi "Iqanda leNgwenya" and his son Rhodes kaNjube kaLobengula.
The egg has been found and it is ready to hatch, and this is the right moment to stop the AbaThwakazi from mourning for the lost heir, but be united and celebrate the coming of the son of the soil back home, to be laid to rest with his forefathers, his People. This event is the precedent to the Highlanders @90 Celebrations that will begin on the 28th of Feb, Barbourfields Stadium, Bulawayo.
We anticipate a huge turnover from our prestigious Academic Institution, Rhodes University and would welcome them as part of this Cultural Event as some of its students come from neighbouring countries like Zimbabwe.
The Foundation would also like to invite Traditional and Cultural; Artists and anyone who would like to participate on this day, to contact Sizwe @ 073 664 9849. For more info Pls email: czoemda61@gmail.com.
