Media Statement|Today the 28th of June 2019 , MRP members held a mini demonstration outside Rainbow hotel where all the Mthwakazi Chiefs have been booked for the past two days ahead of this morning Gukurahundi Indaba at State House in Bulawayo. Emerson Mnangangwa, the butcherer of our more than 20 000 innocent Ndebeles will be meeting the Chiefs.
The placards by the MRP members were clear that Mnangangwa is not qualified to chair the Gukurahundi emotive Indaba because of his direct involvement on the Genocide.
The meeting with the Chiefs comes barely three months after Emerson Mnangangwa met the so called CSOs at the same venue at State House in Bulawayo. MRP President is on record saying the Chiefs are the custodians of the people hence anything to do with Gukurahundi redress without Chiefs is null and void. Two months back the MRP President stated that the Chiefs are the ones who had their subjects killed by Zanu PF through Emerson Mnangangwa, Robert Mugabe, Perence Shiri, Constantine Chiwenga, and Sydney Sekeramayi.
The demonstrators targeted the Chiefs early this morning before they could meet Emerson Mnangangwa and expressed their disgruntlement that Mnangangwa as the perpetrator should not preside over this matter as his proper place is the international Court of Justice.
It is now clear that Mnangangwa and his Zanu PF government will not come clean on this matter due to the insincerity and dilly dallying considering that two months back he met the CSOs whom through reliable sources and other members of the so called CSOs, Emerson Mnangangwa paid the CSOs $ 2.3 Million as a away of making sure that they sell out on Matebeleland people. The Same Mnangangwa now calls the Chiefs at the same venue. We also hope that some of these chief’s haven’t been bought as most of them have not raised a voice against the Shonalisation of Mthwakazi which makes us doubt whether they understand what made them to be chiefs as we feel most of them believe that their chieftainship is because of Zanu PF. They are forgetting that they became chiefs because of King Mzilikazi Khumalo and later under King Lobengula Khumalo.
Most of these chief’s are mum on the land invasions by shonas in Mthwakazi, the deployment of Shona teachers in all Mthwakazi schools, the looting of Mthwakazi resources by shonas.
On the other hand we believe as MRP that the Genocide is still in place but this time it’s economic Genocide where our people are not controlling anything in Mthwakazi. We wonder whose interests are those chiefs defending when their subjects wallow in poverty whilst Harare people do as they wish in Mthwakazi.
We also gather from our reliable source that Chief Siansali of Binga is working together with Emerson Mnangagwa and Chief Charumbira to derail Matabeleland Progress. We are told yesterday night during the chiefs meeting at the Rainbow hotel, chief Siansali was against any voice that defended Matabeleland. He even went further to say his area of chieftainship is Zambezi not Matabeleland. The time is now, nothing for us, without us.
