Staff Reporter | True to form, Morgan Tsvangirai woke up this morning and put finalty to the succession battle in the MDC by sacrificing women and the Ndebele constituency, on the alter of political expediency.
Tsvangirai appointed two Karanga men to the Presidency Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri, going against the founding values of the MDC that require a tribal, gender and race balance in the leadership. The people of Matebeleland have long been marginalised in Zimbabwean politics playing second fiddle to their powerful Shona counterparts. The Ndebele suffered a terrible, horrendous Gukurahundi attack, which has never been fully resolved or acknowledged by the ruling Zanu PF party. Many have looked to the MDC going outside the box to be a home for previously marginalised groups be it on tribal grounds or gender. As the sun sets on Tsvangirai’s political career he has missed the point altogether.
The two men are meant to stop his deputy and long time ally a Ndebele woman Thokozani Khupe from getting to the throne. Khupe has had fierce running battles with male contenders in the party, it remains to be seen how she will manouvre this one.
Gender activists could not hide their outrage, Samukeliso Khumalo said, “For democracy to be achieved at national level, it should start at political party level. It is shocking to find a so-called democratic movement handling leadership appointments like a privately-owned entity. One would expect top leadership positions such that of VP to go through a congress with all party leadership contributing through a vote.”
Other feminists could only say “tribalism and patriarchy at play”.
“Opposition parties in Zimbabwe should lead by example and practice what they preach. The President of a party should desist from making decisions as an individual, transparency and accountability is a principle that all leaders of repute should live by. Leadership change is good but the process of changing leadership should be of moral excellence,” said Khumalo.

Night fall is the time to burn down a Shona house and disappear into the thick of the night.
Let’s make it a point that one Shona house is burnt down each and every day in Matebeleland. One house per day umlilo should be the slogan – 7 days a week; 365 days a year.
I don’t even think we need guns, but we can have them as a last resort. We only need match sticks and petrol. This is not an open war – let’s use the Islamic ISIS strategies. They are succeeding in Europe, of late France yet they are a minority.
The Shona Gukurahundi regime will have to struggle to find those responsible and there is no ways they will be in a position to protect each and every Shona house or property in the region. Worse still in the rural areas!!
We are bringing our guns back home. The same guns we rob banks and hijack cars with, we’re bringing them. We are looking forward to using them on these vile, rat eating, foul mouthed swinas. Just say the word and we will be there. We are so ready. But once we start, there won’t be stopping us. We will start with the khona teachers deployed at our schools, then we will deal with all the assholes from mash on a land deployed at our police stations and soliciting for bribes on our roads. From beitbridge to the Bulawayo post office its them motherfuckers and their corrupt and unsanctioned roadblocks. From plum tree to Bulawayo it’s the same. Victoria falls to Bulawayo, kuyafana. Sikhathele…

Tribalism in Zimbabwe is a creation of the Shona people and their Gukurahundi party ZANU PF under their dear leader Mugabe since 1980. Before Mugabe, there was hardly any tribalism in Rhodesia.
In effect then, does it mean MDC has 3 Vice Presidents?? What happens if by some miracle MDC wins the election, are we going to have a country with 3 Vice Presidents?? Sounds a familiar disastrous and expensive route to me. When are the masses the so called Povo at grassroot level ever going to be heard please people? One president, one vice is enough! That’s standard in any normal organisation.
In Zim there is no Shona, Ndebele, Kalanga or Wasu….we are all Zimbabweans. Kill yourself.
Lucifer tribe from Burundi!!
Shonas must be killed. We need more Xenophobia in SA on this evil Satanic luckier tribe from Burundi!!

The next leader must be elected. Khupe cannot run uncontested. keep on dreaming. If you want her to be a president then give her the support that she needs in stead of giving racial and tribalism comments. such comments will not help her. I am in full support of Khupe to be next leader.

Let us not forget that they was a time when everyone was behind Nkomo. The shona people calling him Chibwe chitedza. He was a darling for everyone shona , ndebele in the country. He was a face of resistance against the whites. The split which gave birth to Zapu and Zanu was done later. After independence more seeds of hatred were sworn by the current government. People make history. We make the history. We can still unite under anyone either ndebele or shona.It was possible fighting the whites . It is still possible today. Our own leaders always give inflamatory statements . Our president talking about Kalanga people the other time. Munangagwa VP the other time. Kagame in Rwanda has joined tribes together.

You sound like one of the few civilised Shonas in this modern world. Im sur you and me can be brothers.
Not these hordes of baboons who side with anything just because its from Tswangirayi; even if it’s copied directly from Mugabe’s Gukurahundi Handbook of “How to Ruin A Nation”. Yet they claim to be opposed to his government.
All there is, is hero worshipping and nothing else. The same disease that led to Mugabe becoming Prime Minister and subsequently President at the expense of better and much more humane politicians such as Nkomo, Chikerema and others.

What have u achieved since independence by complaining about tribalism. Short sighted idiot.
I will lick and you keep fighting a loosing battle right to yr grave. Suffering for nothing. Keep on hating. Never heard a trophy for hurting. Shame shame
But many of you in Mthwakazi are going mad about him. You see him as a Messiah yet he has shown you the middle finger many a times with his unbridled Shona Gukurahundi tribalism that he brought along with him from his erstwhile party ZANU PF!
Sad that Mdc is turning out to be another Zanu pf, if not worse. Zanu pf has two vice presidents, yet mdc has three!! The other two are recent appointments, not sure whether the appointments are catered for in the party constitution. Maybe the constitution was amended just like what Zanu pf did in 2014. The logic behind the appointments is not clear. One cannot help but conclude that this is a ploy to sideline Ms Khupe, maybe because she comes from the ‘”wrong” tribe or she is from the wrong gender group or both. Morgan and Mdc have outlived their usefulness. Zimbabwe needs new hope. Therefore new and unifying leadership is needed. Pasi netribalism! We are tired of leaders who thrive on this cancer. Zimbabwe needs capable leaders regardless of where they come from as long as they are citizens.

Mistaken maybe I need to correct something here “It is a tragedy beyond description” not (tribalism} beside tribalism is a serious Zimbabwean disease planted and watered by Zanu. Don’t forget Morgan Tswangirai was a strong Zanu youth supporter during Gukurawundi.

Lina livele livumelani? I mean; you are not being forced mos?
Check the slavish nonsense that DM is writing – what do you expect from such people?
He is definitely a door mate, if you ask me. And it’s not the fault of the Shona; it’s his because he chooses to be their slave on his own accord.

Fcuk you. If Manicaland is marginalized, so why not complain like Mthwakazi does? Ohhh it’s Shona solidarity? Can’t complain against fellow Shonas. Sies what a stupid people.
You talking shit. How do you fight Mugabe if you seem to thrive on dividing the opposition? Your fool Tswangirayi is not strategic; he can’t see beyond his nose. Now instead of seeing for what he is, you are now blaming the Ndebele are you normal upstairs? Fcuk you nja!!

Stop talking shit. Typical Tswangirayi/Mugabe tactics of labelling people and diverting attention. When will you people accept when you are wrong? What competition are you talking about silly Shona Gukurahundi?

Shame Shona hater. U will suffer to your grave with this mentality
Shame Shona hater. U will suffer to your grave with this mentality
Are you not the one who was praising everything MDC T and Shona just the other day? Am I mistaken; when you said you are a son of the soil who sees no tribalism? Now there you have it – your Shonas are embarassing you, letting you down.
This is my advice to the people of Matebeleland:
1. Please accept that, except for the very few the majority of Shona people hate you. You can vote for them at the expense of your own in the name of national unity; you can speak their language, even better than some of them. Nothing will make them stop hating you;
2. White people hate black people. Shonas hate Matebeleland people – this is the world we are living in; accept it;
3. Now forget about National this, National that. You are wasting your time. They will never appreciate nor like you. Just focus on Mthwakazi provinces.
NOW FOR THE STRATEGY
1. Don’t fight the State, the problem is not the State but the Shona people. Don’t go for state institutions like Police stations etc;
2. You know where each and every Shona lives in Matebeleland – fight them;
3. From Victoria Falls down to Beitbridge; from Binga to Plumtree and from Tsholotsho to Gwelutshena Lower Gwelo – rural or urban; pick out each and every Shona home and village;
4. As the night falls strike. Burn down their properties, huts etc until they leave Matebeleland;
5. You have learnt enough from South Africans on how they deal with foreigners-use the same tactics;
6. There is no ways the government can at night protect each and every Shona house or village in Mthwakazi from North to South, East and West – take matters into your own hands. Enough is enough.
This has gone beyond Mugabe and ZANU PF – that is why all Shona led parties now automatically emulate them.
Its now clear that Mugabe is no longer the problem in this tribalism against our region. The problem is the Shona people and anything Shona. Mugabe just used them because he wanted power. Now they have taken it upon themselves to carry on with his crusades against Matebeleland without his cajoling.
BURN DOWN SHONA VILLAGES. BURN DOWN SHONA HOUSES. BURN DOWN SHONA PROPERTIES UNTIL THEY LEAVE MTHWAKAZI!!

Seeds of tribalism was sawn by Zanu, seeds of dominance was watered by Zanu; seeds of hate and sidelining other tribes was cultivated by Zanu. Some of these so called new Democrats are former Zanu offspring. They are seeds born from the kraal of Zanu and carry gene and cancer of dominance.

Zimbabwe needs a leader who rise above tribalism like Joshua Nkomo unfortunately they is none at all. It’s a great tragedy beyond discrimination. The country need a leader who can make a decision not based on tribalism but on fact and on building a country free from one group dominating another like how Mandela tried. We have a problem

All this zezuru this and that is nonsense. I am from buhera and I don’t even know whether I am zezuru or karanga or what. Idiot tribalists think Matabeleland is marginalized. Go to manicaland and see what marginalisation really is

Rubbish. You know very well Khuphe is just being used for Mthwakazi votes. She will not take over. These new VPs are in preparation for Tswangirayi’s departure. You people are just ZANU PF in everything but the name. This is exactly what happened when Gibson took over in an acting capacity. History repeats itself.

Ohhh. You talk Zezuru, Manyika etc when it suits you? Since when have Shonas made that an issue? Even when new official languages were included in the Constitution, not even one Shona cried foul when no Karanga or Manyika was specifically included, even if we all know that Shona is just Zezuru in another name, because it’s 99% Zezuru. So stop playing that silly game. We are not stupid.

They will not answer. I don’t see were ndebeles have been left out except if Khupe has been thrown out. What I see is that the zezurus are not there maybe because most zezurus are zanupf due to the low level of education, they stick to the stone age party.

Why should ndebeles complain and not zezurus or manyikas since karangas have been given posts. Ndebeles have already Khupe defacto President of MDC-T.

I see a lot of Zanu Pf CIOs commending here. What is wrong in giving Khupe Competition????? Is she NOT competent enough to win against the two men appointed. Khupe is still the first VP!!!! Just recently we had a close look at the British Conservative Party elections for next Prime Minister – 2 women against 3 men. I am sure all of you saw it. I have Ndebele roots and there is nothing wrong with these 3 candidates contesting to become MDC Leader. To me all the candidates are equally GOOD!!!

HOLD ON – HOLD ON! hOLD YOUR EMOTIONS. The author of this article and Madam Khumalo are both wrong. If anything the changes are leaving madam Khupe in charge of the party. In these new changes, Madam Khupe remains the FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, while Chamisa and Mudzuri become the other vice presidents. In effect, this is a smooth transition where madam Khupe takes the helm of the party and the two other vice presidents become her deputies. Sve just remains the face of the party to save its populace. Don’t you get it???

U will never make Mugabe pay with this attitude. Read DM comment below. Mugabe should pay but as long we continue criticism of MDC zanu will continue to benefit from divisions. Tsvangirai is looking for the slight opportunity to make Mugabe pay but we the Ndebele continue to deprive Zimbabwe freedom by starting small parties and end up splitting votes to zanu’s advantage. We will deal with the issue of tribalism with another party in powee
I am Ndebele myself but continuing to talk about tribalism on MDC issues is playing into zanu PF hands. Welshman was supposed to be the most powerful person including Sipepa and they played the tribal card now they are in the cold. This is exactly what zanu wants to hear. Wake up all Ndebele people . We will never make Mugabe pay as long as we continue to blame other people for what Mugabe did. Let us unite behind MDC and remove Mugabe and then address these issues with a new government
Huiessen Mubarak has fallen string man of Egypt , Tsangirai is another mad cow, taking revolutional attention please Tsangirai and you master Mugabe stop dividing Zimbabweans. Mugabe butchered Ndebele people with Gukurahundi now what are trying to prove cow. MUGABE MUST FALL MOVEMENT MUST GROW STRONGER. He must follow Mubarak in jail with his big ugly gogorosi
