The ZPRA Veterans Association has implored the President of the National Chiefs’ Council, Chief Mtshane Khumalo, to allow media coverage of the upcoming Gukurahundi community outreach meetings.
This request comes after the National Chiefs’ Council previously barred the media from attending the actual hearings in rural communities, restricting access to only post-event briefings.
The former freedom fighters said the exclusion of the media from covering the outreach meetings suggests that these public hearings are not intended to be public, exposing the government’s stance against free expression.
The association’s deputy chairperson, Grace Noko, said when the veterans visited Chief Mtshane’s homestead last week, they advised him to permit media coverage so that the outreach initiative is transparent.
“Are you aware that the media will not be allowed to record the outreach programmes? When we spoke with Chief Mtshane, we told him it was bad to exclude the media,” she said at a meeting for the ex-ZPRA veterans in Bulawayo early this week.

The thinking behind Gukurahundi and the arms cache was that ZANU believed ZAPU wanted to work with Russian to overthrow Mugabe and ZANU so that they dont implement Western policies (of America and Britain) . Mugabe saw himself as a key ally of Britain and American in Southern Africa .In the cold war era this was music to the western countries. Anywhere these days one of our all weather friends is Russia #Asakhe
During Gukurahundi, you were likely to be labelled a dissident/bandit if you were:
Males ages 16 and above
ExZPRA

Dear @ZBCNewsonline,
When are you going to apologize for this ahistorical, tribalist and irresponsible exchange? It’s a testament to your poor standards of production, broadcasting ineptitude and editorial incompetence. This should never happen again on a national broadcaster. This is not what citizens pay for. Hang your heads in shame.
One of the two poor excuses of journos who mocked the entire Ndebele tribe with their jibes at the Ndebele king, Lobengula is none other than Farai Juliet Magada
Why pin point her name you may wonder? Well, this is the same woman who came out accusing her boss Robson Mhandu for sexually advances towards her. Claiming because she denied his advances, so she was being sabotaged in her career
Fast forward the boss got fired, she is self sabotaging herself. Proving that regardless of sexual advances by her dick boss, she wasn't qualified in the first place
Know this, most of the times these women who throw around accusations at men, it's only when they fail to get what they wanted from flirting, dating or sleeping with these men
Learn OR perish!!!
Im so disgusted by this. Ngicela ungithumezele ivideo. I want to send organisations like lbhetshu, MRO and other Mthwakazi orgs. We need to write letters to ZBC speaking against this. This is not on. I am tired of distorted history
We have a long way to go as a nation.
Presenters (minus the fact it’s national tv and the morning news!!!), need to self-reflect and invest in research that enables for objective, and educational news segments. It might be wise to limit personal opinions on air.
Names of hosts?

1. MODERN NDEBELE MARRIAGE PRACTICES 🇿🇼
In the previous threads on Ndebele marriage customs we dealt broadly with the ancient practices. The ancient elaborate practices have however, been modernised, though the core foundations of marriage practices have been preserved.
2023 we did uniforms for 3 restaurants, 2 tech companies, 2 NGOs and several startups.
This year we reach greater heights. Thank you to everyone who takes time to retweet our business. It goes a long way.
