@Trust_Anesu@Mncedisi_mengu It might even suggest that the Shona people according to the Ndebele were very difficult to attack as they would retreat to the mountains for protection.
@Trust_Anesu@Mncedisi_mengu Very interesting take, indeed our history has been distorted. However, the Ndebele take is not deregatory as you suppose. AmaShona derived from the word "tshona" which means the ones that disappear "into the mountains"

People ask this pertinent question; where exactly has Zimbabwe lost it? In my binder, we lost it when we stopped eating in one plate. That is the point where familyhood and community togetherness disintegrated. The meal would not start with one family member missing and so there was a responsibility to shout the name of the missing family member. Neighbours would know name-shouting was an indication of meal-time.
When families ate together, no one was left anenzara and on meat days, without even making the meat-count everyone would get his or her piece in hierarchical seniority order and extras shared, there was a spirit of equity.
Even in darkness, there was no corruption of meat-stealing or โkukambura muriwoโ
There was a narrow power-distance-index; amongst family members and at community level. This was all killed off pavakabva kuhondo and everyone started pretending โgainsโ of social mobility had moved them into middle-class and old eating patterns were seen as backwards and each and every family member having a plate on his or herself was seen as chimanje-manje.
And this is how today the power-distance-index has widened to extreme individual interests. In the Middle East Arab countries, they eat in one gango.
What needs correcting for Zimbabwe to get it right is re-indexing the power distance and narrow it down back to the family institution and empower the community and disempower the excessive power centralised in the state.
We can have as many economic blue-prints or different parties to the current ruling party; but for as long as we donโt knowledge that the fault line lies in the national culture that has is dysfunctional and has disintegrated; we will never get it right.
Zimbabwe deserves an intellectual leadership to help the country to reconfigure its national culture and fragment power from the state and redistribute it back to lower segments.
