By Nkathazo Ncema The Scramble for Mthwakazi

By Nkathazo Ncema The Scramble for Mthwakazi The struggle for control over this rich dry land is continuously taking new twists and turns with all sorts of lemon twist sipping Oliver Twists of this world claiming to be the sole custodians. The Zimbabwe Debate The participants in this debate range from tribalists like Mugabe and Tsankarai and unifiers like Welshman and Dumiso on the other hand. Truth of the matter is the system of government since the 1980s has always favoured the Shona people. Under the name of unity,we have seen Mthwakazi face a genocide and all sorts of marginalisation from toilet cleaning to taxi rank marshals. With MDC and ZAPU controlling the Matabeleland political landscape,a safe bed for Mthwakazi can be made either as a province of Zimbabwe or as an independent nation. Mthwakazi Liberation Movements All sorts of pokerfaces are all srambling for Mugabe's attention, from penning letters to patronisation. Political parties of all sorts mushrooming like weeds during the rainy season, all competing for the Mthwakazi cake.With all the competition comes name calling,labeling,sloganeering and insults of unseen magnitude. We are being continuously introduced to new definitions of what a Mthwakazian is, who is the best Mthwakazian, who is the worst Mthwakazian, who doesn't qualify to use the name Mthwakazi. The list is endless and confusing. Prophets of doom Those masquerading as prophets of all sorts of gods and God have not helped the situation either. Mthwakazi people are losing lots of their belongings to pay for the services of these spiritual entrepreneurs , the tragedy of it all is that non of the prophets is ready to tell the truth. The sole truth is that Mthwakazians are not getting jobs and opportunities in Zimbabwe not because they have been bewitched by relatives but rather they are being sidelined by the Shona supremacist government of Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tswangirayi. Any prophet who fails to see is a prophet of doom. Forecast With rate that dishonesty,squabbles and infighting is going between all Mthwakazi groups and progressive Zimbabwe groups, then Mthwakazi's new dawn is still far from the marding crowd. Now is the time for our people to regroup and find common ground whilst respecting others chosen paths in the road to liberation.

How Africa is the African Union. By Nkathazo Ncema

How Africa is the African Union By Nkathazo Ncema One would have hoped that the transformation from OAU to AU would bring feasible results for the African peoples, sadly the transformation seem to have been that of alphabet letters and English words. It is now clear to all sundry that the AU is but just a superman league of West and East stooges and puppets who are not interested in the advancement of the life of the African child, woman and man. Buffoonery of the African Union The continental block has failed to revive the African Renaissance agenda as propagated by the likes of the late Azanian Steve Bantu Biko. This union has shown utmost lack of interest in grooming future leaders nor investing in projects and initiatives that seek to advance the African agenda. What African Agenda Africa's agenda is Siamese with land, production, distribution and empowerment. What many fail to comprehend is that the scramble for Africa was less a political power ploy and more an economic tool. The Europeans sought to capitalise and monopolise African resources, that was the basis, and politics was the route to such an attainment. Sadly, the liberation war was more entrenched in politics and not economics and the result was a negotiated settlement in almost all African countries, a political settlement whilst the economy remained in the hands of the oppressors. The truth of the matter is freedom is not freedom until it becomes economic freedom. Zimbabwe as a Case Study Once upon a time there was a land north of the Limpopo called Zimbabwe, rumour has it that it still does exist. It boasted of nationalist leaders like Joshua Nkomo of ZAPU, a man who valued the land issue, a man who understood the economic struggle, sadly the treacherous political heroes emerged victorious. At independence the country became a mini British island with a knighted Prime Minister, it became Africa's food basket, a basket decorated with British colours. Such a construction lacks a foundation and tragedy struck when the land reform was chaotically implemented, the foundation collapsed and the country became a basket case exporting more refugees than farm products. The lesson to be learnt is that when we talk of freedom then it must be economic in its entirety, and if it is economic it must be a product of Africans and not imperialists. Negotiated freedom is not freedom, shifting the foundation from the west to the east is equally catastrophic. What is needed is a truly African foundation, it is better to have a basket case awaiting fulfillment by the African farmer or miner that basket full of foreigner administered yields. And South Africa... So much of the Black Economic Empowerment rhetoric and action, noble action I must say. The sad part is that it is the politicians that are benefiting and making all sorts of economic blunders. Proudly South African economic success must not be defined by the failure of the BEE program but rather by the level of success. The sad black youth culture code named "izikhothane" is testimony enough to the direction that Azania is taking. Now is the time to defeat the evils of apartheid, education is lacking in the minds of many, shacks seem to be more attractive, reliance on the welfare state seems to be the in thing, toy- toying seems to be a better culture, drama queenism and kingism is causing havoc, from resurrected maskandi artists to spears and sunshine journalism. For now, as a starting point, it would help if the government injected a national Introspection Day on to the calendar. The sad tale of Her Foolishness Madame Joyce Banda of Malawi In Joyce, Africa has a political stripper entertaining the European and American elite crowds, the woman seems to be enjoying the scented poles. Joyce is determined to have the begging bowl filled up by imperialist handouts that come with homosexual conditions,  Joyce is committed to snubbing the African Union so the imperialist can offer another pussycat smile, Joyce is not adding value to the African renaissance debate and the sooner the Malawians get rid of her the better for Africa. Lessons for the emerging States From South Sudan, Barotse to Mthwakazi and many others, the basis for your quest for freedom should not be political but economical, economic action is the only way you can determine your destiny. Conclusion Africa now needs an all round brand new revolution, the economic war. It is high time we begin to give the West and East conditions, time to trash the negotiated constitutions that get amended for 20 times and counting, what is supposed to be an African life document has become almost like a designer wear clothing, Lancaster Document has become a Levi's Document. Political liberation movements like ANC, Zanu-PF etc must henceforth seize to self congratulate themselves, the war has only started now and it is the new generation that will win the war and the willing old guards.

WE SUPPORT THE ARREST OF MUGABE AND SOUTH AFRICA'S ANC SHOULD NOT FAULTER-MLF BY David Magagula

We are happy and very grateful that the world has at least listened to Mthwakazi cries-not only has the world listened but has acted and given an order that South Africa must arrest Mugabe and his cronies once they set foot in that country. Perhaps Malawian President-a woman and dear mother should be praised first,before we detail why Mugabe has to be arrested. Malawi's President issued a warrant of arrest to the dictator and human rights abuser and President of Sudan. No male Africn President has ever done the same to a sitting President! We salute your resolute stand against many men Presidents who always sing praise to each other as they take turns to butcher,rape,maim and induce hunger and poverty to your offspring mama. Thank you for leading the way Mother Africa. Turning to Mugabe and his utterance on Friday to the ANC that the South African ruling party must not listen to the International Community on their call to have him and his cronies arrested is a blind plea to the democratic global village. South Africa and particularly the ANC has to abide by the International Community Order for a number of reasons: 1) The 1981-1987 genocide in Mthwakazi,generally referred to as Gukurahundi had a lot to do with ANC. Mugabe and his government ruthlessly butchered more than half a million people and displaced close to five million Mthwakazians to date. 2)That genocide was caused by the discovery of massive arms of war that belonged to the ANC.(3) Our people died in their millions for ANC. Today they (ANC)must payback. (4) We are aware that the entire masses of South Africa have carried about five million of Mthwakazians for the past 32 yearsin all social aspects. We owe a lot to them and feel the ANC government has short charged their people by not telling the truth on why the people of Mthwakazi are still refugees in South Africa. I need not say that ANC must never ever listen to Mugabe. If that august party did not learn and deduce when,why and how their Julius Malema went astray then they must ask the people of Mthwakazi. Turning to Mugabe and his cronies we warn that MLF is prepared to give evidence of genocide,rape,torture,disappearances,tribalism and outright marginalisation that has been the order of day in our lives since 1980.Mthwakazi has lost both life and property worth trillions and continue to wander the world over because thbey are afraid Mugabe will do to them what they did to their parents who are yet to be decently buried to date.Our white commercial farmers who were butchered and their property stolen deserve the intervention of the international community. We have nothing to lose because we are being denied the right to life itself. To Mugabe, Zanu,CIO and army we warn that they may run but they won't hide. Time is fast running out for them. They may ignore us at their own peril and their commitment to our call for independence will be judged by the way they welcome our emissaries we have sent to them to discuss the separation of our country Mthwakazi from Zimbabwe. To the International Community we encourage you to speed up the arrest of Mugabe .You rightly sentenced Charles Tailor to an effective 50 years;You sentenced Mubarak of Egypt to life imprisonment. These two despots have crimes much less than the crimes of Mugabe. We back your efforts and stand ready to give evidence to all human abuses in the hands of Zimbabwe and we urge South African authorities to heed the international community's call to arrest and try Mugabe the Butcher of Matabeleland.

ENOS MUZOMUBI NKALA IS AS GUILTY AS MUGABE-MLF (byDavid Magagula)

The expected rubbish and foul sentiments by genocider and Gukurahundist Enos Muzomubi Nkala cannot go unchallenged. Muzomubi means a bad home and in our culture nothing good was ever expected from that home except death,disease,drought,famine and poverty. And that is exactly what Enos stood for. For one Nkala must be embarassed to have hosted a dissident formation in his Salisbury house. Secondly Nkala should be ashamed to have spearheaded and being a front runner in the genocide against his own people. We all know that Nkala did all he did because he personally hated Joshua Nkomo. As things stand today Enos must know and know very well the following facts and positions we have taken to redress our past injustice: that he will accompany the likes of Robert Mugabe, S.Sekeramai, E. Munangagwa ,P.Shiri and the whole army command that was in place during Gukurahundi.He says Mthwakazians must "grab" property like Zimbabweans. To this we say NO. Not us Enos. We are a disciplined nation that does not believe in daylight stealing and we are not against Whites who are Mthwakazians like us. What we are certainly and surely going to do ,taking your advice is to grab all land,houses and any other property in the hands of Zimbabweans that are resident in our country. Why we have not yet "grabbed"any property to date is simply because we are on a peaceful mission that involves engagement with the rulers who happen to be our oppressors. Mr Nkala must know and rest assured that should the intended negotiations fail,we will definatly commence the grabs Nkala is urging us to do. May I conclude by reminding Enos that we know him and his family very well and can remind him why they are called umuzi omubi and as a nation have never expected any positive contribution from him. We know that he is the leader of singers for supper and could do anything against his own people when his masters call the tune. Nkala has been bad,he is bad and will remain bad for as long as he is pitted against his own people. Mthwakazi will never ever accommodate a sellout like Nkala even in his grave. We despise you Baba Nkala ,uphila lanxa usufile.Kithi ukufa kwakho kofana nokwenja ,nayo engena ncedo njengawe.

MLF WELCOMES DECISION BY SA TO PROSECUTE ZIM HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLETERS (David Magagula)

We salute the just and human decision by a South African Judge to prosecute human rights abusers from Zimbabwe government once they set foot in South Africa. We are pleased that at least our people(Mthwakazians) now have somewhere to report and seek protection from the colonial Zimbabwean government of Robert Mugabe. We have information and records of our people who have been "stolen" from South Africa and shot in Zimbabwe.Zimbabwean intelligence operatives enter South Africa and force those they are looking for into their vehicles and take them for killing in Zimbabwean killing fields.As an organisation we have reported some of these cases but nothing has improved.The Zimbabwean police and intelligence simply shoot those unfortunate and claim they had been trying to escape.A case in point is that of Dipsloot guys who were stollen and short at their home area of Tsholotsho. Orders to shoot on sight have been given to deal with political leaders from Mthwakazi and the excuse of trying to escape has been given as the sole reason for such shootings. We urge all SADC member states to emulate South Africa so that the Human Rights abuses by Mugabe and his government stops.It is high time human rights were protected.

By V Ncube Mugabe and his cronies should be tried before the international courts

By V Ncube Mugabe and his cronies should be tried before the international courts for all the humanitarian crimes they have and continue to commit since 1980 Responsible department: Foreign and Commonwealth Office Robert Mugabe and his cronies should be tried before the international courts for all the humanitarian crimes they have and continue to commit since 1980. Zimbabwean people have never been at peace. ZANU PF continues to violate and suppress people`s human rights in every way possible. Mugabe has committed serious atrocities starting with the Gukurahundi massacres were 20 000 people were killed up till today he hasn’t stopped killing people. ZANU PF uses militia thugs, police, green bombers, CIO,Chipangano gang and ZANU PF supporters to commit all these crimes. This violation is a great retrogression in terms of democracy and protection of human rights as enshrined not only in the constitution but in the regional and international human rights instruments in which Zimbabwe adheres to. We cannot allow Robert Mugabe to die without being charged for the crimes his committed. We ask the international community to help us regain our independence, we are tired of seeing died bodies.Mugabe and his cronies should be tried before the international courts for all the humanitarian crimes they have http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/33390,
