Farai Dziva|Controversial Deputy Information Minister, Energy Mutodi has torched a tribal war after describing Ndebele people as foreigners.

Mutodi was commenting on the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Former ZBC radio and television presenter Ezra Tshisa Sibanda described Mutodi’s remarks as reckless.See Sibanda’s response below:

While most Zimbabweans and Africans are angered by the killings of our people in South Africa, this Energy Mutodi comes out with the most appalling recorded video by anyone in Government, distorting the history of Matabeleland people big time.

This is insanity, totally misplaced rhetoric and very shallow thinking from someone who is suppose to be a deputy minister. Did Zimbabwe exist in 1836 and were there any borders? This guy is so naive to even try to compare the 2 scenarios. King Mzilikazi left South Africa, moved to the north rounding up tribes on the way and then settled in the southern part of now Zimbabwe.

He created a nation with various tribes he rounded up like Venda, Kalanga, Tonga, Shangaan, Sotho, Some Shona tribes, Ngunis etc and called it a Ndebele nation.

Mutodi is one of those people who inherited Mugabe DNA of dividing our people. Instead of talking about the sadistic treatment from blood thirsty blood dripping vampires who we call neighbours, he brings Matabeleland people into this sh*t.

He is a disgrace, l wonder why and how he is a deputy minister. He is inciting tribal war in Zim, he should be fired from his job.
