The South Africa based Mthwakazi Liberation Front separatist group on Monday issued a threat for armed war to the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe, declaring a 90 day ultimatum failure which they claim they will pursue among others, military action to achieve their objectives.
Writing directly to the British monarchy, the organisation’s spokesman David Magagula said failure to comply with their requests would attract imminent war after 90 days.
The MLF has to date been seeking to slice Zimbabwe into two equal halves to represent what it claims were the original historic mappings of the country in the late 1800s. The result of that slicing would result in the creation of a second country named as ‘Mthwakazi’ which is exactly half the size of the present day Zimbabwe plateau.
“We will wait not more than three months before assuming that non response entitles us to take this matter the way we see fit,” the group’s correspondence statement read.
The full letter read:
I write on behalf of the people of Matabeleland (Mthwakazi), a Kingdom destroyed by Her Majesty’s forces under the banner of the British South Africa Company (BSAC) in 1894. This is the third time we seek audience with Her Majesty on the restoration of the kingdom of Matabeleland (Mthwakazi State).
In our last correspondence, you directed us to the Zimbabwean government. We have since engaged the Zimbabwean government on this crucial matter and we got the harshest of the replies from Robert Mugabe, the sitting President in the binary arrangement (whereby Matabeleland and Mashonaland were bundled into one country without the consent of the subjects into Rhodesia then and Zimbabwe today) which you created in a Whites only referendum of 1923.
From the onset, we had refused to be directed to our second colonisers, Zimbabwe because it is not Zimbabwe that bundled the two separate states but Britain immediately after the conquest in the Anglo –Ndebele war of 1894. From that time till 1980, successive governments in Rhodesia took turns to misrule our people by use of the stringent Matabeleland Order in Council of 1896 which is still in force today and adequately enforced by the government of Robert Mugabe. To us, this means that Britain handed us and our state over to Zimbabwe at decolonisation in 1980 to perpetuate our oppression, an illegal arrangement again to the detriment of our nations’ welfare and prosperity.
We have resolved that we write You this letter once more before we drag You and the British government to the International Court of Justice (ICCJ) and to the United nations (UN), a move we are serious contemplating right now.
We regret to have resolved to take such a stance and we add that this is the last peaceful means that we the people of Mthwakazi will do before we engage the occupying regime otherwise, in the not so distant a future. We have sufficient evidence to push Your State and government to its knees while we prepare to settle the issue militarily with the obdurate Zimbabwean government.
Your urgent response and action on this matter is paramount. We will wait not more than three months before assuming that non response entitles us to take this matter the way we see fit.
Yours faithfully

Akuthule umsindo wena amahole mtwana wewule Jumpkaka. Inja ezazalwa ngedemeji vele zikhonkotha okungapheliyo. When were you ever in a war wena sihlama?
Greydonkey we are a special people with a special history that we tell during the day. Totemless you said? What totems? We do not share a culture of witchies and wyzards who once they hear someone’s real surname they start using their wood to cast a spell no. We are heroes bastar*d Greydonkey.
We are slow to be drawn into any war but once we are in it we never look back until someone gives in unconditionaly. Thus how we brought Zim independence that you now think its yours alone. Now tell me mntwana wenja Greydog can the same be said about your people without the word savage appearing along the line?
Makwembere congra my opponent, I thought the tornadoes at Oklahama found you in your little speed boat at sea and did justice to you and delivered freedom to some fish. Now I believe you rent boats that move at terrific speeds. This side we lost a hero Jevan who was Chief operations during the war for independence and the very independance that allowed blacks to be national presidential candidates or just head of government.
Is it not irony that the MDC-T seeks to reverse that independance?
Kikikikiki!!! Inasmuch as Thembadog is a fool, it seems he has exposed some fake so-called Mthwakazians. Can you see the frothing totemless donkeys Jumpdonki and Ndumidog, whose surnames appear on the list of “amahole” published by Thembadog, Jumpdonki must be a “Dhodho” and Ndumidog a “Gumbo” or thigh in Zezuru, after his mother’s profession as a thigh trader! These hole’s have been exposed, they think they are Mthwakazians, now we see they are mere Mthakathi, absolute nothings and not accepted by the real Mthwakazians. Liyanya zilima lingamahole awothuuvi, Thembadog has exposed you bastards, kikikikikikiki!! Useless pieces of nothing!
Nxa, uyagula wena Themba, why don’t you shut your smelly beak if you have nothing reasonable to say?uyasinyanyisa ngokuwumana kwakho ndoda.wena Greydungbeetle, shut up bastard , you know very well that we are special people, we are warriors by nature singabanqobi wena nja.
Editor please do all you can to ban Jumpdaki we all know he is in ZANU PF Mujuru faction who he siphoned money in January 2007 before jumping into the Limpopo. Justmdarkkie you are fortunate the cross didnt eat your limbs, kikikiki!
Themba uyisilima esingazi lapho esalimala knona esiphongugxhoza indenda, fact is all the surnames above are found in all Nguni tribes. All Zim Ngunis call themselves Ndebeles.
Greyhole with green intestines keep speechfying but one day you will be speechless and wait to take orders as dry as they are. You may write all therubish in the world but believe me you reugee you underestimate my people at your own perile. I know by war you mean genocide this time the chances are zero and nilo nja.
Is it not true that Matabeleland and Mashonaland were bundled into one country without the consent of the subjects into Rhodesia then and Zimbabwe today) which you created in a Whites only referendum of 1923? Is it not true zinja.
Why is the editor deleting a post from Cde Naked while ignoring a post that praises Gukuraundi? Mr editor sir you are a dog like the Greydog above. It is also obvious you are Gukuraundist, we will leave your site so that you and your co-hoots can agree for ever and ever donki yamahlanga.
Go to hell Thembadog, nothing special about being a “Ndebele or real Mthakathi”. I assure you there is no one in the queue to join your “race”. Infact, the “real Mthakathi” you so proudly speak of were thieves and cowards; they ran away from the Great Tshaka after stealing a few cattle because of the love of meat! History has it on record that Lobengula was treated for gout by Dr. Jameson himself, all for the love of meat! Nothing special about you at all. Nxaa!
We are sick and tired of the same group of people talking endless and senseless noise with none Mthwakazi people.
Publish it or not it won’t change facts. Lobengula was Royal and Khumalo, Mtunzi, Hlabangane and Mkwananzi were protocol and bodyguards and not Royal themselves but subjects. Lets get our history correct.
These surnames are not Ndebele or real Mthwakazi. The Nkomo, Ndlovu, Mpofu, Dube,Moyo,Sibanda,Bhebhe,Mhlanga,Ncube, Pilane,Ngwenya,Dhliwayo,Mtetwa,Maseko, Matongande,Nkala,Nyathi,Mahlanguyo,
Mabhedhla,Ngulube,Bhule,Masuku,Ngonyama,Mano,Mliswa,Khalilani,Danisa,Mamoyana,
Langa,Malunga,Dabengwa,Khesani,Hadebe, Dhodho,Gumbo,Dhamini,Nkhensani,
Msongelwa, Halimani and Vilakazi are either Kalanga, Venda, Tonga, Fengu, Sotho, Shona and Kore Kore. If we are to fight for our people which ones, not the above mentioned surnames, just because they might speak Ndebele or Zulu does not make them one. Where do we start with cleansing our Nation if there are people amongst us who are not.
We shall not be silent in researching who is who here as we dont want people of default to join our race.
Mthwakazian will-be final free one day ….even over our dead bodies….talk ,talk you Bla Miki…it is BULLSHIT
Great historians telling untold history of Rhodesia. Ths frakus is pioneered & engineered by Obama & the Americas for a World conquest/New World Order. These threats are not empty threats!
A lot of people here talk of Gukurahundi as if it was a war between two combatants. The other side was unarmed and were civilians. At Entumbane thats were two combatants fought if only Big Josh had allowed the Gwaai River assembly point with all their Russian firepower join the battle and take Byo.That was an opportunity lost for Mthwakazi Independence. Was it not pathetic that RGM had to rely on the Rhodesian air force and the RAR to fight the ZPRA
The world over countries are at war because of the penchant of the British to amalgamate different Kingdoms (read countries) into one country for ease of governance and larger land area. Decolonisation of Zimbabwe was badly done just like all the ares under British rule from Israel/Palestine, Buganda/Bunyoro, India/Pakistan,Sudan/South Sudan, Tripoli/Benghazi, the list goes on and on. The entity called Rhodesia is a creation of the British that the succesive Govts have taken advantage of. Without war the Matabele will never be respected in Zim. I urge MLF to talk to Renamo and come up with a joint enterprise to deal with this Sh0na hegemony one and for all. AYIHLOME.
HAIWAVO! Ko zimeye WHY WHY WHY WHY?Siyanai nazvo mhani?
-DELETED-
Where is this Mthwakazi coming from?Zimbabweans are busy building to unite and bury tribalizim and you now start bringing up that bullshit now you must note that Zimbabwe is not for Ndebele people,forget of Chakazulu time when he was robing our forefathers the theregions,wealth and women this time we can push back to South Africa you are now forgetting GUKURAHUNDI
Hahaha y shld i waste my words, gud lucky my fellow country men kkkk
Ndookufarisa ikoko. Ngavapute mbanje neglu nehuswa vakanyarara.
Editor, its not always good for me to be crying and pleading with you to delete all rubbish posted in my noble name or by a dog calling itself my brother. To the imposter, gongo ra myi vako rizere hurume hwembwa. NOW TO THE STORY: Thanks for bringing up this story. I have a different view and maybe it could help us to understand the whole matter at hand. Zimbabweans, do you recall someone calling for the weakening, an overhaul, restructuring, reform, colapse or paralysis of the army or rather, the security sector? Did you hear the same person promising to compensate gukurahundi victims? Did you not hear the same person claiming that the Lybian and Egyptian so called revolutions were the best thing to have happened in Africa, and how he wished the same could happen here in Zimbabwe? Do you remember the final push? All l’m trying to say is, these Mthwakazi idiots have someone behind them. The first gukurahundi was led by Joshua Nkomo himself and was beaten all systems out and eventually surrendered and was rewarded as VP through the unity accord. MDC T also want to use the same system since its now clear they won’t win elections, they want to return in government through back door using the Mthwakazi thing.
Ngavarohwe zvekare…here comes Gukurahundi #2
nyika yedu nemabhoda ayo atakaura tichiziva. izvo zvevanhu vasina pfungwa mandex vanofunga nekumashure vasingazive chinonzi kubatana. varikukanganwa kuti izanu nana baba vedu mashona takasunungura nyika. makudo ese arikuda zvekuparadza zimbabwe ngavaende kunopihwa nyika yavo yemtakati kumazulu land not anywhere in our zimbabwe.vanhu vakaita sei vasingaone zvinoitwa nevamwe south africa has more that 10 tribes asi vakabatana.gukurahundi yakange ichiri nguva yehondo to hell with mtwakazi
masatan……..
Zimeye it is not time to marginalise matebele people, this the work of Mugabe’s CIO. You are now trying to divide us with this STUPID THING that is trying to liberate itself from Zimbabwe.
FIRSTLY, FIX THE BLOODY HEADLINE!!!!!!!! ITS BRITAIN!!!! NOT BRITAN. Just goes to show what a bunch of nonsense this article is. Split Zim into two???? Ndenge ndaenda kupi??? Please I ask you kindly, don’t give these wankers news space with this poison
When you talk of this stupid group you are actually talking of a pathetic group of hyenas. We fought for this country its now history to fight the british. We can not be getting such news editor from south african squatters. Let them use the herald this a respectable site. Those are views you expect in the herald or h metro
Ndebeles are tribalists 2kg sugar, flour, salt, cooking oil, mealie all have same prices in Bulawayo and in Harare whats your story here. you want gvt to plan your daily lives too much pleasure is your problems
I will personally bash each and all of these mthwakatians with this seperatist agenda nxa!
This is a pseudo terrorist group which has nothing to offer to any reasonable person except to glue sniffers.
Hahahaha! Rabid Mthakathi hounds are now a joke unto themselves. Running like whimpering puppies to the same British that they demonize day and night! Honestly, where do the British come in here? I ask especially the two donkeys, Jumpdonki and Nakedonki, the advocates of this useless and futile Mthakathi Lesbians and Fools (MLF) cause.
They say: “We have sufficient evidence to push Your State and government to its knees while we prepare to settle the issue militarily with the obdurate Zimbabwean government.”
War? Against who? for what? with what? These idiots have not learned that “vala ngebhetshu!” ceased to work two centuries ago! The Nakedog and the Jumpdodi think five impi’s can wage war against bazookas and tanks, a sorry tale of idiots whose tummies are full and rumbling from overindulgence on worms! Hahahahaha! What a sorry lot, who wish for, but will not get, our sympathy!!
Besides assegais and pangas and knobkerries, I suspect these guys have also acquired nuclear laden drones. Lets not take them lightly. We might think that they are on glue or coccaine but you never know with mipengo.
its such an interesting story.but before these guys came to zimbabwe,what had forced them to flee south africa;is it chaka the zulu?maybe i am wrong gives us light how you ended up in matebeleland.otherwise us i am concerned britian will never grant you such a wish because now they dont have power over an indepedent zimbabwe.as for the military threat revise your ultimatum because it is too long make it a month.
The first president was a famous Ndebele/Zulu Impi – Canaan Banana
Ha Ha Ha let me laugh.At least the morons are all barking and burning the Zimbwebwean flag whilst hiding in South African.Marombe echiNdevere asina zvekuita.Zviroto zvavo.Funny thing that these morons dont realise is that the British they are asking for permission were themselves illegal invaders that we recently dealt with.It seems the Mtakwazi morons believe Zimbabwe belongs to the British NO, Zimbabwe belongs to Zimbabweans and you can only ask British such only if you want to have a part of scotland maybe.As for the war threats i would rather not comment on that.
Mashaya nyaya here Zimeye, these boys who are refugees in SA are drunk.Give us better news.
Moyoza are you serious? I doubt if people really consider one’s background in allocating jobs or resources. Normally it is those in the minority who do that. Look at who is running diamond mines in Marange! Look at the compositions of the ZMDC, MMCZ and Hwange Boards!
They can only make noise in S.A let them come in Zimbabwe with this bullshit vaone.
We are really going to fix you this time be warned.Who are you to threaten the mighty ZANU PF with war?
These guys must be taken serious. No to childish comments like above. Robert Mugabe’s government must stop favourism and give equal opportunity to zimbabwean governemnt equally. Trully the Shona seems to be enjoying the cake more than any other tribe.
Wena Gina nja shut up,you were chased away from Tanzania mountains because of cannibalism n wishcraft. Mtwana wo mthakati uNeganda Kagudi. We are going to braai you like your flag. Viva Mthwakaziland.
I wonder if these guys understand what war is all about. If you moan and groan over Gukurahundi,expect the worst with your declaration. Zim shall remain united despite our political differences. No to TRIBAL war,its just retrogressive. The harshest response from Bob was appropriate in this case though Bob is no longer my role model.
are you forgetting that you were chased from south africa by chakazulu then you settled in matebeleland,, endai munoita history yenyu mushe then you will know that you dont even originate in zimbabwe…nxaa kuda kuti nyangadza…..
