What the party is advocating for resonates with many in Matabeleland and I believe that, were it not for its approach, which is militant and at times borders on hate speech, it would have more (open) support. I explored the background to the rise of the party in parts one and two of this series.
Unfortunately, it attacks both Shona speakers and the same people it claims to fight for with a similar level of viciousness. Its way, it believes, is the only way and nobody from Matabeleland should concern themselves with Zimbabwean issues.
In 2020, I found myself a victim of the party’s wrath after publishing articles about Zimbabwe’s problems in general; it called me a traitor, a Shona lover, who is prostituting herself to Shonas by entertaining (writing about) Shonas yet they killed our parents.
