As MCA we would like to ask all Matebeleland people who got affected by the statement issued on Wednesday, reading as, "'We' Khumalos are sorry for the genocide committed by our forefathers ", to calm down as it is only the writing of the Matebeleland Kingdom revival detractors.
For starters, among the Khumalos of the royal family, there is no-one called Bhekifa. We as MCA, live our daily lives with the Khumalos living in Zimbabwe and those outside Zimbabwe and we know them all by their names.
It is crystal clear that Bhekifa is somebody else's agent disguising as a Khumalo only to seek public attention and indirectly decampaign the installation of Matebeleland king and derail the efforts to revive our kingdom .
For that reason we are not shy as an organization to say we don't see anyone other than Ndzimu-unami and Mike Moyo, issuing out that statement.
The gentlemen are in the committee of a group which calls for the rivival of Mambo Dynasty which they deem the only rightful people over Matebeleland.
As having been trying to counter the people of Matebeleland's efforts to install their king and revive their kingdom which was destroyed by the British South African Company some 132 years ago, Ndzimu-unami has publicly criticised it on all social communication platforms, saying Khumalos were imposing themselves over the original people of the area.
Mike echoed their detaste over the revival of Matebeleland kingdom saying they were set to revive the Mambo Dynasty and install their king before the Matebeleland king is installed which is likely to be done some 10 months to come.
The Khumalo here refered to is nothing more than a traitor. He pretends to be representing the Nguni who kept Mzilikazi alive by our fore fathers.
The writer of this shameful article must bury his head in shame ngoba ligwala and and has misplaced historical facts. What measure did he use to determine that Mzilikazi committed a genocide? We feel the guy needs further schooling on what genocides are and his kith and kin should warn him and dissuade him from pronouncing a history he does not know.
It is a pity he doesn't even know that the Ndebele got called Ndebeles before even settling in Matebeleland and that Mzilikazi was King to all who recognised him and was never a king for the Khumalo people. Clearly this " Khumalo Moyo" is trying to create enemity between Kalangas and the rest of the people in Matabeleland. He should have read his history books so that he learns that Mzilikazi settled way long after the last Mambo was killed by Nyamazana.
We therefore warn him and his bosses that attempts to divide the rainbow nation created by King Mzilikazi will remain fruitless.
