By Chris Tongogara | Anyone who touches Ntabazinduna, touches fire, touches death. And anyone who fights a mountain, fights the Almighty, chief Ndiweni repeated on Saturday.

As the late national hero Dumiso Dabengwa’s touches down at JN Nkomo Airport Sunday afternoon, the same mountain Emmerson Mnangagwa wants to desecrate, will be the glorious resting place for the man he violently persecuted, Dabengwa. It is a time of mourning, but there is something in the air.

Mnangagwa wants to upset the locals here, and indeed the whole nation. What’s happening?

Within days of a Gukurahundi mass murderer,the agriculture minister Perance Shiri seeking to step his feet on the sacred mountain, with residents swearing to die to protect the mountain, it is revealed that that the late black Russian, Dumiso Dabengwa has sworn not to be buried at the National Heroes Acre, but Ntabazinduna.

But what is it that is in this mountain and why is it so hot to touch? In an exclusive interview lasr week, the highly respected Chief Felix Ndiweni tells ZimEye.com this mountain was chosen by King Mzilikazi. He goes on to list a bill of instructions by Zimbabwe’s resting fathers of the area.

But Ntabazinduna is also synonymous with the word “democracy”. Chief Ndiweni speaking at Gwelo says a nation cannot function without democracy.

He says the country will not move until it observes the ‘Ntabazinduna’ code of life, Democracy.

He says, a national ” leader must be god-fearing; it is ladies and gentlemen impossible for anyone to be a proper leader if they are not god fearing because those are the qualities that were placed down.”

He then adds saying,”
Ladies and gentlemen our issue here in Zimbabwe is a very serious issue; we have a failure of democracy. When democracy fails everything else fails…”

“Even if you go to the magistrates and the high courts you will not receive Justice because democracy has failed. Ladies and gentlemen democracy touches every part of our lives…”

Chief Ndiweni then says he is of the belief that the problem with Zimbabwe is being attended to by the MDC.

He says, “…I know your team here will be looking at that. I know they will be focusing at that. I know they’re trying to sort it out currently in our country we have a constitutional president but here right here we have the popular president.” – WATCH THE FULL VIDEO FOOTAGE ON ZIMEYE.COM BELOW
