Today, MRP President led the National executive members to Gwandavalle villages in Matopo district following revelations that human borns were discovered two weeks ago after heavy rains.
Villagers went and reported the matter to the police, they did came but there was no conclusion on the matter. The villagers complained that the Zimbabwe Republic Police officers who came couldn't even understand Ndebele language which is mainly spoken in Matopo, this resulted in the police failing to communicate effectively with villagers.
Mqondisi Moyo grew up in Gwandavalle, he promised villagers that he will help the villagers get authorisation letter to properly burry the remains. He also promised to provide cement and food for the reburial program.
Moyo said it is unAfrican to allow human bones to scatter like that without care. The villagers said they are willing to do that only when they get authorisation letter.
The villagers told Cde Moyo that following the heavy rains in the area, the rivers are now full and the school children have spent two weeks without going to school because of lack of proper roads and infrastructure. There is no strong bridge in the area and the few they have are made of stones and logs.
The district hospital is also unaccessible because it is beyond the river. The road where villagers cross is exactly where Mazhowe and Thuli rivers meet and its very dangerous during this time of the rain seasons.
The nearest District hospital is Mtshabezi, it is 25 kilometres away from Gwandavalle a situation that has caused untold suffering for the villagers. The situation is very bad there are no roads totally,we were forced to push our car on many occasions and we were forced to drive for three hours in a 76km road. The road is very very bad!.
The local MP Mr Never Khanye of ZANU PF is doing nothing for the villagers, he is only known for threatening people to support ZANU PF. Khanye has not done anything for the people and has never appeared since the last election. He only came now to prepare for a satanic birthday bash meant to celebrate the success of Gukurahundi genocide.
President Moyo said he is aware that villagers are being forced and threatened by MP Never Khanye and Matabeleland South Resident Minister Abednico Ncube to contribute towards the evil bash.
These people must not be voted into power in Mthwakazi. ZANU PF is evil and will never do anything good for Mthwakazi. MRP is the people's party and is here to save and protect the interests of Mthwakazi.
The Mugabe bash is a shame and must never be allowed. We may not have the capacity to stop that evil birthday bash but it must be on record that as Mthwakazi people we are against it and our voice will be head in 2018 elections. MRP encourages all our people not to participate in this evil bash. We ask our people to keep their little resources and not support the evil perpetrators.
Matopo for Mthwakazi asijiki futhi asibuyeli emuva.
MRP Secretary for Information and publicity.
