Uyazi unesi khathi soku dlala mfethu, yini ngawe, awu boni umhlaba uyaphi lamhlanje yini lento amatshona, amandebele, ama what what is narrow views.Africans are Africans that is it simple , uyathanda awu thandi uzofunda ukuthi abantu abanyama bayi muli inye, sikhathele ngezimpi nange zondo.
"Africans are Africans", I agree with you, however we are not one family; For instance, the 18th of April 1980 which brought Shona pple independence brought us (the Ndebele) unprecedented suffering in the hands of the former. NB:The type of suffering which was worse than what we went thru in the hands of Ian Smith a British. Therefore we have no reason to regard the Shona as brothers and sisters but foes who would prefer an ethnic cleansing of us the Ndebele.
Mentioning these and acting in their light is not an act of hatred nor a symptom of tribalism but they stand as historical facts which were done in a spirit that has been perpetuated even to this date and we have no reason to suppose that it will not continue into the future.
Resistance to these and claiming our rights, of course may lead to "izimpi", however if I may pose a question, "Esikwesaba empini is suffering and death, suppose we do not fight for our autonomy, are we sure we will not suffer nor die, in the past havent we suffered and died, and presently what's happening, are we not suffering"? Some of us are lucky to be alive, it is by chance lokusebenza kwenkosi, that we still exist otherwise ngokwecebo lika Mgabe bemele sibekogoqwanyawo.
Akekho ojabulela impi, ukuhlupheka lokufa, kodwa kusuke kuze ngoba nxa zonke kubheda.
Sibabonile abanye bethu uMngebe ebahlinza libalele ngesandla sakhe esiyigukura, Abanye asibanga lethuba lokubabeka kahle kodwa bebephoswa koma-mass and shallow graves okwezinja, asitholanga lexetsha lokuba khumbula (despite that yena uMgabe an African as he is just like us, has seen his own pple who died during the liberation struggle being remembered and commemorated to the extent of even arranging a trip to Chimoyo). Now that it is a death sentence and practically illegal to commemorate our own what shall we do, because forgeting is just impossible? My opinion is the best way to remember and commemorate our own is to continue fighting until the idiot is overcome.
Regarding a site that is purely Ndebele, if you find yourself usola lokho, limuka hlezi uyisibonelo sokunqoba kwesitha sona esifuna yonke into ephawula ubuNdebele ibe-illegal; bearing in mind that they have a mission to completely cleans us out as a Nation. Having been disintergrated and victimised kuyinto encomekayo ukuthi kube khona i-site ehlose ukuhlenga ukufa kwe-identity yethu. Ungamvumeli unembeza wakho ekutshela ukuthi uyona, instead ugajelwa yikwesaba ngoba wondlelwe embusweni wesitha lapho ubuNdebele bungamkeleki.
