Pritchard Zhou, the chief executive officer of Zimbabwe Heritage Trust (ZHT) has controversially claimed that the Ndebele people were being used to remove President Mugabe by westerners because they were ignorant of their true history. Zhou went on claim that the Ndebele people did not originate from South Africa, as originally thought, but were actually Shona people who speak a different language. Speaking on Tuesday, Zhou said:
Matabeleland is designed to remove President Robert Mugabe. If you go to Bulawayo, you will find that nine floors on a building house NGOs. The message they get is that Mugabe is not your leader.
…The Ndebeles didn’t come from South Africa; they are as Shona as anyone in terms of the blood that runs in them save for their Ndebele language. These are divide and rule tactics being used because people don’t know their history. The white man uses lack of understanding of history to their advantage
Matabeleland South is the home of the Mwari (God) religion. If you go to Matopos you find at every high place there is a cross and we all know a cross is a Christian propaganda.

Its sad that the history of our beautiful motherland Zimbabwe has not been told, its being suppressed to be more precise.
As a Culture Activist & Human Rights Defender I’m very passionate about Protection & Preservation of Our National Culture & Heritage. I have always challenged the Govenment & it’s institutions to speed up the process & change our Education curriculu system. It is a humanity crime to infringe our rights as citizens of Zimbabwe access to information as it is part of our Heritage.
It is critically important to make use of our elders wisely in by taking advantage of the most valuable opportunity to have them around us. Well the sad part is that we continue to lose these elders who are so rich in wisdom & incomparable knowledge.
