He is correct. Shona is a colonial construction that was formalised in 1931 by South African linguist, Dr Clement Doke, who was hired by the Rhodesian government to create a common language for the black population outside of the Ndebele-speaking communities.
It is an insult to be called Shona, and those who do so deserve to be called out. The term was never indigenous; it was imposed by colonial administrators to lump together diverse groups for easier control.
We are Manyika, Zezuru, Korekore, Karanga, Ndau, and Barwe — each with our own distinct histories, dialects, and cultural identities. The name “Shona” erased these differences and served as a colonial tool of homogenisation.
Rating agencies have the calmness of a monk about all this Hosh.
The Rand is gardening and not falling or tripping or twerking. What a stable fellow these days.

If you listen to President Julius Malema with hatred you will live a very angry Life against yourself until the end of your time because the Truth will remain the Truth even after Life.
