When the arrogant government authorities announced that,
going forward, they would let all citizens follow and practice
their different cultures and traditions wholly and unhindered,
and that they would act in a fair, decent and democratic way –
(yet previously they had clearly and consistently carried themselves
and their egos in a fiendish, unfriendly, bigoted, and deceitful fashion
as all this was showcased and evidenced by their blatant executions
of systemic slayings and biases, thuggeries, several costly scandals,
falsehoods and follies, plus …the infamous Gukurahundi genocide
and the officials’ pitiful subsequent window dressing, hearing antics
and gimmicks) – the ‘happy’ and hyped news was received with a lot
of disbelief and disdain, especially by the keen kingship revivalists,
and the short-changed citizens of Matabeleland and the Midlands.
