Mambo king, Mike Moyo questioned council\u2019s wisdom in among others naming a street after King Mzilikazi whom he argued \u201c\u2026is already honoured through a suburb, school and art centre \u2026We don\u2019t see why one of the Lozwi kings should not have the Mzilikazi Street named after him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been subject to colonisation first by Mzilikazi and then the whites. Mzilikazi oppressed us, creating a caste system in which the Nguni were regarded as first class citizens while those incorporated along the way were in the second stratum\u201d<br \/>\nMoyo expressed \u201cutter dismay\u201d and disappointment at the local authority for sidelining the Mambo dynasty, before calling on the government to intervene and \u201cstop this diabolical\u201d exercise. A latest council report of the general purposes committee shows that the local authority has agreed to meet the Mambo dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe town clerk (Christopher Dube) reported (March 4, 2020) that he had received the attached letter from the Mambo Royal Council dated February 12, 2020. Since the reception of the attached letter, the Mambo dynasty was keen to meet councillors and discuss the matter further,\u201d the report read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was, therefore, resolved that the request by the Mambo dynasty to engage councillors on the naming of the city\u2019s major streets be acceded to, and authority be granted to members of the general purposes committee to meet the Mambo dynasty on a mutually convenient date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two parties have not met, while a date for the meeting is yet to be set, the Southern Eye was told yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>In November last year, the government renamed some major roads and buildings across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulawayo City Council immediately countered the central government\u2019s decision by renaming the city\u2019s streets after luminaries such as the late Zipra commander Lookout Masuku and others from the Matabeleland region. The Mambo Dynasty Trust, which was formed in July 2015, has been pushing for the revival of the Mambo kingdom which collapsed in 1835. However, cultural observers have alleged the Mambo dynasty was reactionary and meant to challenge the revival of the Ndebele monarchy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BULAWAYO City fathers have agreed to meet the Mambo dynasty which is protesting council\u2019s decision not to rename some roads in the city after its Lozwi kings.
