The soul of any culture is its language.kill it and you have destroyed an identity,which then means to me,the Ndebele culture and language are under attack...enough is enough,igobo leli aliqondiswe lisa manzi!i demand an apology,on behalf of the children that had to endure an hour of this excruciating circumnstance which still haunts them and for us, the people of Mthwakazi land from you and your experts.

this needs to be addressed immediately, and as the Ndebele speaking nation we need an apology from the Director.

We are an African nation that is still preserving its way of doing and the Grade 7 paper is actually not a reflection of our community as the Ndebeles. We strongly believe that people who came up with this question paper must be fired otherwise blame will be directed to the whole Ministry of Education system. As poor and as "powerless" we can be pecieved, however we still have our African pride, which is found in our precious Ndebele language. This examination paper has tempered around with language and we will never accept it. A good education system is the one that listens to all concerned stakeholders and we as a community also need to be listened and respected. Any denial in accepting the wrong doing done in this examination paper will highlight how poor and tribalist the Zimbabwean education system has become.

Ndebele students must be taught their mother language by the Ndebele teachers. Not a request, its a MUST

Fracking shit from Harare meant to destroy our Ndebele language. No to this kind of shit, folks.

Zimbabwe is by all means trying to implement their grand plan and this is high time we show them we can not stand it anymore.

Kwenzeka kahle, kudala amandebele etshelwa ukuthi kawachithe umtshado wawao namaShona kodwa engezwisisi. Lokhu kwenziwa ngamabomu, yimizamo yamaShona yokubulala ulimi lenhlonipho emaNdebeleni. Phansi ngabeTshabi Phansi.
