A Call To Honour Our Leaders
Mr. Editor,
May you allow me space to air my views to the Dzimbabwe People.
I think the 27th of April is supposed to be declared a public holiday in Zimbabwe, in remembrance of the death of our supreme leaders, Mbuya Nehanda (Charwe Nyakasikana) and Sekuru Kaguri (Gumboreshumba) and others who were brutally murdered by the British Settlers on this day in 1898 on allegations of banditry and rebellion by the same British South Africa Company government founded by Cecil Rhodes.
In my own opinion, Judge Watermeyer, who sentenced Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguri to death, and Cecil John Rhodes (who engineered the African Colonisation) must also be tried and sentenced to death posthumously.
The Issue Of The Remains
And to make matters worse, after she was executed, her skull was taken as a trophy of war and sent to England along with those of other leaders. Truly speaking, their remains must be repatriated back to Dzimbabwe as soon as possible.
In my own opinion, as the descendants of the Original Nyamhita, as a country, we are supposed to disengage with Europe, Britain in particular, on all platforms until we get back the remains of our supreme leaders.
Our Heritage Must Be Defended
It’s really a disgrace for us to party with the descendants of Cecil John Rhodes. Yet, we are still struggling to take back our Heritage, our fertile Land, as black Africans, which had been forcibly confiscated from our ancestors by the same people.
-
They displaced our ancestors from our fertile soils!
-
They divided our country and imposed borders on us!
-
They destroyed our Kingdoms and Cultures and imposed theirs on us!
-
They murdered our ancestors!
Long Live Dzimbabwe!
