STAFF WRITER | In an effort to ratchet up pressure on Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko, to leave the Rainbow Towers hotel in Harare where he and his family have been staying since December 2014, a call has been made to boycott his businesses.
In particular to be targeted in a call to action circulating on social media is his supermarket chain Choppies, “Therefore we urge all citizens to BOYCOTT buying anything from CHOPPIES supermarkets which VP Mphoko owns, until he moves out of the hotel,” the statement says.
It continues stating, “Us civil servants have no June pay because he has REFUSED to move into a 3 million US$ mansion because he says its “substandard”.. That 3 million did not come from his pocket but from OUR salaries. It’s not a crime to be a regular citizen without political affiliation.”
Mphoko insists he will not leave the hotel which is unnecessarily daily gobbling up millions in US dollars of tax payers money, at times even claiming absurdly that he is royalty and more important than any chief in the country. President Robert Mugabe is yet to officially respond to his deputy’s actions which have angered struggling citizens as the economic situation in the country worsens.
The arrogant Vice-President, called people who are insisting he leaves the hotel ‘stupid’.
“You see, what I have realised with Zimbabweans is that they are not grateful… I used to sleep in the bush when it was raining and cold during the war of liberation, no one was counting those days, but now that I am just waiting for a home befitting a person of my status to be ready before I can move in there, you see some people making it their business to count the days that I have stayed in that hotel… they are very stupid,” he said.

Learn to integrate with locals and speak their languages, share jobs and resources equally. Otherwise if you can’t, stay in your provinces. Its that simple.

clearly u a lost and I don’t think discussing with you is worth a pen. who said one can be everywhere like oxygen? if you are in Bulawayo u are there not Harare but for to insinuate that if u are from Masvingo u cant live in Filabusi that’s a backward thinking, furthermore for you to say everyone should develop their place of origins hence they should stay there will haunt you because we will then say Matebelend is where it is (underdeveloped) because the people of Matebelend did not developed it as you claim,thus defeating your whole purpose of saying Shonas are destroying this region, it will simply means you are also not doing enough and by the way who said you cant go stay in Mutare, maybe you are a barrier to your own movement and that shouldn’t be our problem but yours, your assertion clearly is full of open and old would, full of emotions rather that facts that befits this time and age,lest you calm down and see the world as a better place when people work together than being egocentric
That is theory. You cant be everywhere, you are not oxygen. Everyone has a place of origin. They should develop that area so that Zimbabwe as a whole develops. You cant keep running around like headless chickens. That is what our forefathers used to do during the Bantu Migration era – today people settle in one place and develop it.
You are allowed to be anywhere yes, but develop the place you are in and integrate with the locals and share resources. Stop your nonsensical Mwanawekumusha …..idya nehama evil culture which is causing tribal tensions in our beloved land.
Why do you recruit from afar when you have people next door who need jobs? Why do you think UK is now faced with a Brexit? Nobody in this world wants to be invaded by outsiders – whether from within or from without. We will never boycott our own Mthwakazi – never!

@nkalakatha-this idiot should be ignored out-rightly , he is so shallow & tries to tarnish the image of the Ndebeles. With such backward and skewed way of thinking even your own will disown you.

Nkalakatha Zimbabwe is Zimbabwe how come you want to put us into small little Zimbabwe s. You are allowed to be anywhere around the borders of Zimbabwe without being asked your color, religion or tribe so please don’t start tribal battles whenever we debate national issues that affects everyone, surely we will not go anywhere if we think on tribal lines

Fine. Lets see how far you will go with your useless boycott call!!
its a pity people on this forum are losing,being side tracked on tribal lines in this day and era? shame on you guys,call a spade a spade not condoning evil coz of a mere tribe
Never listen to Shonba bullshit yabafazi abathathwayo.lshona alilandlebe zokukleklwa.Ishona liyingalani alila zimpu.
There is Nguni cows and hard mashona cows.
Asilawo umhlobo wenkomo zamashona unless nxa u Lobhengula wazibulala wazipha izinja.
Scientifically Nguni would never mate and produce calves safelky with mashona type.Ngunis are bigger and mashona cows would experience a bridge and die.
Ndebeles are stupid
You love Matebeleland by taking jobs from them? You love them by making fun of their going to eGoli after you have grabbed their jobs? That’s some really funny kind of love!!
It is willing always be about Shonas as long as you support Mugabe’s evil policies in Matebeleland that disadvantage us and our children just because you benefit from them as Shonas because of your numbers. I call upon the whole of Matebeleland to back Mphoko on this. He is creating jobs for our people. Shonas go back to your provinces!!
You have always played this game against us since 1980. We are only returning it in kind. I’m surprised you are not even aware of this. There are no ghastly consequences at all. Mthwakazi can never be intimidated by a Shona. Never. A Zulu yes, but not a Shona. I say no cooperation with Shonas phansi nabo!

I do care that he is Ndebele. Therefore he has to be defended at all costs. You all voted for Shonas isn’t it?

You can not bite anyone, because you do not even understand how to bite. This is not about Shonas or Ndebeles, this is about rogue ZANU PF thugs. Those who can bite understand the context of complex issues. You are just obsessed with tribalism, although tribalism does not even give you any competitive advantage, As for me, it is all about Zimbabweans, irrespective of race, tribe or whatever as long as you are not part of the ZANU PF thugs. I love my fellow Zimbabweans, shonas , ndebeles, kalangas, or whatever as long as they are not part of the ZANU PF thus looting our resources and destroying our country..
You are an idiot, This is not about shonas or ndebeles. This is about ZANU PF corrupt thugs, shona, ndebele or whatever. You are so yesterday. Update your state of mind.

Although I do not want to go the tribal route, but it is a fact that just as business is a number game, so is democracy. So buy from your mboko, for me as long as you are a ZANU PF thug, irrespective of tribe or whatever and you have a business, the boycott card should be played. If you have enough ZANU PF supporters who can support you, that is fine, you will survive.

You do what you have to do, and we will do what we have to do, but know that if we decide to play your game, the consequences are too ghastly to contemplate.
All Shonas are rotten. That’s why we are in this mess. They know nothing about fairness and justice!

Forget it. As long as you keep flooding our Matebeleland provinces favouring each other with our jobs. We will never support a call to boycott one if our own. Even if he is wrong; we will support him. Like you support Mugabe’s evil policies in Matebeleland because they favour you Shonas!

Support Devolution and the control of deployment of Shonas in Matebeleland so people of Matebeleland can also get jobs, then we will also support your Mphoko call. Otherwise you are also stupid!
They don’t want to learn Ndebele because they are a vengeful lot. I say support Mphoko nomakanjani!!
Exactly. So why support any things proposed by such evil vengeful people. They will never tire with their cattle and women stories yet we are all a totally new generation. What do they want us to do about that? They are punishing us for things we know nothing about why? The hatred is too much!
I wish all of our people could be like you Mfowethu. You are one of the few who really analyse things. Abaningi ngothathekile kuphela. Down with the Shona!

Just support uMthwakazi kuphela ZANU PF or not. Shonas are selfish crooks. Why do they come to our provinces and start giving each other jobs at our expense; after which they turn around and insult us and our children that we are only good at rushing to eGoli and coming back with bicycles?

I am with you 100%. Our children have no jobs because of the Shona invasion of our Mthwakazi region. They support the ZANU PF policy on this issue why?
They support the deployment of Shona teachers in Matebeleland. They come to Matebeleland and they don’t want to learn Ndebele instead they want to force the introduction of Shona in our region as they are trying to do in Gwanda, yet we don’t do the same with Ndebele in their regions. They are selfish and let Noone tell me these are separate issues. They are all linked Mthwakazi.
We are being colonized through the 1979 Grand Plan. I say Matebeleland, stop following Shona things. Stop cooperating with these Shonas. They are selfish, self centred and evil.
Give me one thing the Ndebele ever call for and the Shonas support? Just one thing please!
They oppose everything you call for even if they can see you are disadvantaged. Even if it also benefits them in the long run. The fact that it comes from you is enough justification to oppose it.
They oppose Devolution because it’s supported by Mthwakazi. On this score they are with ZANU PF; their so called arch enemy. So why support them when things suit them, I ask?
Akeliyeke ukubangothathekile bantu bakithi. Down with the Shona.
Please support Mphoko come what may. Support Choppeies. Support Siqokoqela. To hell with ama Shona. We sick and tired.

In 198p they supported Mugabe over Joshua Nkomo because he is Shona; despite his Satanic character. They were benefiting, right? So why should we not support Mphoko? He is one of us. They created the divisions in the country; it’s not us. Even today; they dont want to see a Ndebele leader. So, you set a precedent; don’t complain tomorrow if it turns around to bite you. I say boycott the boycott of Choppeis Mthwakazi. Support Choppeies and down with the Shona!

Leave Mphoko alone you Tshonas. He is Royal Mthwakazi. You touch any descendants of King Mzilikazi you are finished. Just like you are now paying a heavy price for your misguided Gukurahundi – we long told you not to interfere with Royal Mthwakazi. You don’t listen!!

Can someone please just enlighten me. Imba yaVice President Mphoko yekuBulawayo or wherever it is. How much is it worth? Personally I don’t really care whether VP Mphoko is Ndebele , white , black, Shona or whatever.

This is what we should have started a long time ago. We are giving them money to finance their machinery to kill us. Let us show them that the endgame is on. Alpha and Omega products should be bought by ZANU PF thugs. They are killing us and we continue to finance them. We have the power to shake the system without even firing a single shot.
Zanu Pf is to blame on this issue , they squander money unneccsarily on individuals and neglecting the whole country, Mphoko is wrong to call people stupid and he is overestimating his impotance to this country by rejecting a 3 $million dollar mansion.Zan Pf is rotten from top to bottom, all selfish old man and woman who just think of themselves and their children at the expense of the whole nation

@man what support does mphoko give to ndebeles people ?let’s not use tribalism here and focus on how much money does he spend on that hotel and how much do U yourself have ,I believe u got nothing but to use the shona nd ndebeles bla bla bla .He is the most stupid idiotic person that mphoko.im a ndebeles but I will never ever support such nonsense .
mina i have staid in Harare shona people hate ndebele people so much that i know and they will never vote for a ndebele person, kungathi kusehlula ukuthi indebele to coach any of the national teams then you expect them to vote for a ndebele person. ask those who went for their tertiary institutions in Harare in some lectureres you were dirrectly told by lectures that here we only speak english and shona, before starting the learning process.

Qiniso lelo, abesigundwaneni yibo abafaka idlozi labo leli eselibulele ilizwe. Given a choice most Shonas would prefer to return evil Mugabe instead of electing someone from Matebeleland. Some when pressed in a discussion they justify the gugurahundi war and go on to declare their support for Mgabi. They prefer to dance with the devil than support a Ndebele person.
that way my bro we can use other platforms to place our complains not boycotting him. CURRENTLY CHOPPIES IS WHAT MAKES BULAWAYO A BETTER CITY. but i just want to encourage our people not to boycot our own fellow brother on unfounded basis, kanti otswangilayi bahlala ezindlini zabobani. mekeleni umphoko laye adle. if your employer emplys you and does not give you accommodation if he rents you in a hotel why worry youryself. akulanto emangalisayo eyenziwe ngumphoko. upresident bathi from the beginning of the year up to now he has used more than $50 million on travelling, why are they not saying we must boycot products from Gushungo holdings
I hear you but now choppies only hires at Davies Hall and we the true people of Mat we don’t go there because we don’t support Zanu. Kunzima lapha fethu. Umfo uziqatshela abesitshabi bodwa ezama ukuthabisa uMgabi. Either way we’re fucked.
please people of matebeleland let us not consider every move proposed by a shona person as the best for the country. we must support this Mphoko guy and never cease to buy from his shops. how much damage has been done by most of these guys who have been in gvt for too long but no one ever proposed for the boycot of thier business eg products from gushungo holdings, lunar chickens just to mention but a few. i think its even better to by from choppies than TM and OK. AT least people from this region have even won competitions from chopies but have never won anything from OK grand price, last year more than 20 cars were won in Bulawayo from choppies, yet amongst the 41 cars which were up for grabs in the OK grand challenge no person from matebeleland won anything. lets support choppies than any other shop, was mphoko in gvt when $15billion was lost in gvt, who ever proposed for us to boycot gushungo holding products, let us not follow people who are just jealous for the success of our own citizen. lets support mphoko, choppies currently is a major employer in Bulawayo so if we boycot him who gona employ us.

Vana vavo vanonzwa sei vabereki vavo vachitukwa so?????? I mboko dzega dzega,,imba yese yakazara mboko.
Zimbabweans are STUPID if you consider that these geriatrics are milking the country dry and on top of that they are insulting us……War veterans are also urging him to leave the hotel ….Am talking those who were in the real bush not the “bushes” of Lusaka Maputo or Moscow where Mboko was cocooned and busy with his selling out of ZIPRA…
