05:02, 9 Oct - +27 7* *** ****: Hie, there, just want to say my own experiences on the late Enos Nkala's diatriabe on "Ukugeza ubuNdebele." That phrase, its unfortunate that the late claimed was twisted, to me it still rings a bell. Mr Nkala used it even at Silalabuhwa/Silalatshani beer garden in 1984 in Filabusi his home area by then I was a form one learner at Singwango Secondary school. People from surrounding areas ie Singwango, Nyamime, Mbokodo (his home area) Ntunteni, Ntazi, Zhampale etc were forced to attend his rally. During his address he talked at length about the so-called Dissident whereby he warned/stated that when two Elephant bulls are/were fighting it is the grass that dies (grass being the innocent masses).
05:03, 9 Oct - +27 7* *** ****: Thus when he took time to lecture on how he wishes there was a way he could wash uBuNdebele from him. He concluded that Mugabe had sent him to warn his Ndebele people for they risked death by supporting Zapu/Dissidents/Nkomo.
05:03, 9 Oct - +27 7* *** ****: Its inconcievable for his words to twisted in all his addresses throughout Insiza,Gwanda etc.I have a very clear recollection of that day's even though I was in form One(1984).To top it up he mentioned a particular educator, Mr Mkhwananzi (teacher @ Ntunteni pry School) whom he castigated for affiliation with Zapu-a party of Dissidents. He also mentioned Phenias Nkala(one of his relatives) as undesirable because of his Zapu affiliation.
05:04, 9 Oct - +27 7* *** ****: On the whole I would like to say the late Nkala failed to separate his personal obssession to fix nkomo &hatred for the general Ndebele populace. Of all his failures the worst was/is not coming out clean on his role during that "moment of madness,"if ever its simply that:
