By Own Correspondent- A Zanu PF apologist on social media has deliberately stoked tribal tensions by suggesting that people from Matabeleland hate school and should not be aggrieved when they get non-Ndebele speaking teachers.

Writing on microblogging site Twitter, the “Murakashi” said:

“If you belong to a tribe that hates going to school and becoming teachers, please don’t blame anyone when your kids are being taught by teachers from other tribes.”

The remarks came as there has been anger and consternation in Bulawayo and Matabeleland where concerned parents have expressed unhappiness over the deployment of teachers to the region who have Shona surnames.
