Zimbabweans Pour Scorn At Coup President Emmerson Mnangagwa For Commissioning A Badly Sculptured Statue of Mbuya Nehanda
Zimbabwean Netizens are enmeshed in a euphoric internet brouhaha reacting to the unveiling of the supposedly artifact meant to be a prototype of the representation of our bonafide foremother - Mbuya Nehanda.
Is it by happenstance or by design that the sculptor is a male horny devil? Palpably, to quench, extinguish his inherent sexual titillation, he mischievously hyperbolized our iconic foremother’s buttocks, unbelievably inflated her bosom. He fetishizes on big buttocks and big bosom . More disturbingly, in lieu of accurately portraying her as a dark skinned women that she was ; the horny devil mendaciously administered bleaching agents on our foremother . Consequently, we are presented with a Slay Queen, yellow bone as a prototype of a representation of our history. Ironically and symbolically, our foremother passionately fought against such intellectual laziness, nincompoopery during her epoch .
The historicity of Mbuya Nehanda is very clear . She was a courageous, dark skinned, intelligent, cultured woman who passionately , unequivocally and with great stoicism fought the infrastructures of imperialism . Selflessness , courage, resilience and remarkable Pan Africanism were the hallmarks of our great foremother. She was a personification of Africa .
Regrettably, intentionally or unintentionally such gross caricature of our foremother is outrageously unbecoming. In fact , this is a direct insult / urination on the remarkable legacy of Mbuya Nehanda Nyakasikana. At a minimum the sculptor is a bad humorist and at a maximum an epitome of intellectual laziness.
Did Mbuya Nehanda gain all this weight during lockdown? That’s a rhetorical question.
Mbuya Nehanda and sekuru Kaguvi did not die for this nincompoopery, tomfoolery and buffoonery. The bastardization of the legacy of our foremother through such caricature is tantamount to treason!
The Slay Queen artifact must fall henceforth! I am as serious as a thrombosis!
