Have we forgotten kumusha/ekhaya

Published on

EDITOR – THIS hatred of each other between blacks and white is not good for us and our children.
Of course we cannot all love each other, but let us at least respect each other.
Yes what Cecil Rhodes and his cronnies did was so painful, extremely and bitterly painful, but we cannot change the past.
We can dig up Rhodes grave, we can’t change that he was there.
I don’t see how him being buried at Matopos has to do with our country not knowing Njelele.
We are the ones letting our values and cultures go to the dogs.
We rush to teach our children to speak English only at the expense of our local languages.
We turn our backs on kumusha and our heritage.
Ask many of our children their totems you will find they do not know.
How many of us have sat down with our children and not told them about the rich history of our black people?
Many of us just rush to teach them English values.
We are at fault for not giving our children a cultural identity.
That grave there will serve to show how far we came as a people, how we defeated the whites and attained our independence and territorial integrity.
