The son of the late Vice President Joshua Nkomo, Sibangilizwe is not happy with a recent move by the government to change signage at the Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo (JMN) International airport.
The Ndebele cultural shield was removed from the airport and replaced with the government’s Coat of Arms emblem.
Nkomo said the removal of shield is an attempt to undermine and humiliate the legacy of the Ndebele kingdom and that of late nationalist.
Originally known as Bulawayo International Airport, it was renamed in honour of the late Dr Joshua Nkomo, the leader and founder of the Zimbabwe African People’s Union in 2001.
He said the Government should have consulted people from Matabeleland before changing the signage at the airport.
Sibangilizwe said that the government has used its power to destroy the Ndebele kingdom noting that the Njelele and the Balagwe have been tempered with.
He added that the only thing left is to find Joshua nkomo’s grave in Harare removed as the government fights against the Ndebele tribe.
