Your King Is Not My King

We have been so consumed by the political implications of the Munhumutapa Day celebrations that we have neglected its deeper and more despicable meaning outside politics.

If the state recognises a Munhumutapa Day, then it must also recognise, for instance, a Mzilikazi Day and also honour the histories of all the communities that make up Zimbabwe. It cannot end with one empire or one tradition.

Imagine holding next year’s Munhumutapa celebrations in Nkayi. What message would that send to communities there whose history was never part of the Munhumutapa Empire? It would suggest that one group’s history is being elevated into the national story while everyone else’s heritage is treated as secondary, irrelevant or invisible.

This is not national unity. It is the symbolic imposition of one historical identity on an entire country. It tells other communities that they must see themselves as subjects of an empire they neither inherited nor identify with. In its conception, this is no different from rigging elections and imposing a leader on people for five years (Who then extends that to 7 years).

Zimbabwe belongs to all its peoples, not to one ethnic group, dynasty or historical narrative. Respect for one tradition must not come at the expense of others.

So, NO, your king is not my king.

@CrimeWatchZW This is clear the Dr Chiwenga was slow in opening but Kembo was quick hence the president needed water urgently. If it was you what would you have done?
