Below the famous Looking for the "future statue" which stood at the Bulawayo National Art Gallery for many years being taken down on orders of the govt. (This happened 7 years ago of so) I have no rights to this picture.
By the rivers of Babylon and there we wept when we remembered Zion. We hang our harps and they that captured us required of us a song, saying sing us one of the songs of Zion! How shall we sing the Lords songs in a strange land? This piece of scripture in Psalm 1:37 captures exactly the situation that the people of Matabeleland are facing right now. Despite great heroism and activism spearheaded by young people in the past few years, no sooner did we see all those fruits of the great awakening come down crumbling down that in the past few weeks. We find ourselves in a gloomy situation so to speak. Mthwakazi people are like a sheep without a sherpared. Sinjenge zimvu ezingela melusi. Mthwakazi and indeed cultures of Matabeleand as a whole scattered all over the globe has a lot of energy but find herself suffering from many years of slumber and disorganization and will urgent need to convene and map a new radical plan if she has to survive for the next century!
