Ndebele speakers form new party

JOHANNESBURG -Ndebele-speakers here have formed a new political party, Matebeleland Freedom Party. Kain Ngwenya, interim president, said this had been necessitated by "the government's lack of development projects in the Matabelend region".
Ngwenya urged all Ndebele speakers in the diaspora to ra

lly behind the party.
“We have so many Ndebele speaking people in South Africa, who should pool resources to decide their own destiny. The present government has shunned development in Matabeleland and Midlands regions,” he said.
Ngwenya was organising secretary for MDC South Africa but quit recently saying the MDC had failed the nation.
“The time has come for the Matabeleland region to work on its own after realising that neither Zanu (PF) nor the MDC cared sufficiently for the people of the region.” Matabeleland region.
MDC activist and Welfare Officer for the Zimbabwe Political Victims Association (ZIPOVA), Joshua Rusere, said the formation of this tribal party was bound to fail.
“When MDC was formed, it did not represent the needs of Shonas or Ndebeles but all the people of Zimbabwe,” he said. – CAJ News
