Addressing hundreds of the regional party supporters gathered here for the King Mzilikazi Day celebrations recently, MLF spokesman David Magagula said supporters should return to their bases and push the party’s fight from their home bases.
He said that the people of Matabeleland and Midlands, the centre of the secessionist movement’s land claim, were tired of living “in the bush like animals” and wanted to get back what was theirs – a portion of Zimbabwe.
“We cannot continue to live like slaves, working for South Africans as if we do not have our own country, yet we left behind a beautiful country with resources, which is being sucked dry by a colonial regime that continues to treat us like slaves.”
He said the party would continue its push for the South African government, the regional SADC bloc and the African Union to put the MLF’s secession on their agenda.
“We also want back the wealth that has been plundered and continues to be plundered by those who are holding us captive in our own land,” he said. The party now has structures in almost every South African province.
