Dabengwa to form new Ndebele party
By Xolani Sibanda 04-08-08
Bulawayo- Former Minister of Home Affairs in the Robert Mugabe led Zanu PF government Dumiso Dabengwa has declared that he is under consultation to lead a proposed political party project that serve the interests of the minority Ndebele people.
Speaking at the Bulawayo press club on the 1st of August 2008 Mr Dabengwa lamented the exclusion of former PF Zapu members in the six men negotiation table at the on going GNU talks in South Africa.
Dabengwa exhibited a lot of bitterness against the ruling Zanu PF party and shona people in general who he still blames for encouraging Mugabe to kill Ndebeles in the early 1980s.
"I listen to people. I am a man of the people. I am being asked to lead a party for the home region's interests and through my family I am considering accepting"
The man nicknamed the black Russian said. Asked about his position in the Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn project DAbengwa said"'I told Dr Simba Makoni that I would only help him for the March 29, elections after that, count me out"
Dabengwa also said he does not have a problem with Morgan Tsvangirai "previously when I was opposed to him it was due to the fact that I knew very little about the man. I feared he would be another Fredrick Chiluba but after speaking to him I realised I was wrong and had fallen for the propaganda of my former party"'
However, Dumiso Dabengwa on the contrary shocked the audience when he declared that he was still a Zanu PF member.
"I just don't attend Central Committee and Politburo meetings because of the trivial agendas of these meetings. Did you ever hear anyone say I have been fired from Zanu PF?"
