He told people gathered at the memorial service of the late
Air Marshal Perrance Shiri a week ago that opposition parties are agents of
cultural imperialists masquerading as political parties.
The Constitution of Zimbabwe doesn’t allow chiefs to be
involved with political parties.
“As we celebrate the International Culture Day this week, I
want to emphasise this clearly; I said this yesterday when I gathered
traditional leaders in Gokwe that as traditional leaders you should guard
against cultural imperialists masquerading as opposition political parties.
These people are eroding our culture.
“The Japanese on Culture Day, celebrate their own culture
and so do the Chinese.
“This coming week on Tuesday the 25th of May, we are going
to celebrate our Culture Day in Samora Street at Munhumutupa (Crown Plaza)
where Mbuya Nehanda’s statue will be erected.
“There was a well where she fetched water from and
colonialists constructed their church over it and we decided to place the
statue next to the church in honor of her,” he said.
Meanwhile, the ruling party has been calling for Chiefs to
go to the party’s Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology for indoctrination.
