Information deputy minister Energy Mutodi will not be
charged with hate crimes after he declared on social media that Ndebeles are
refugees in Zimbabwe.
Mthwakazi Republic Party assisted by their lawyer Dumisani
Dube recently tried to file criminal charges of violence incitement against
Mutodi at the Bulawayo Central Police Station, but police reportedly refused to
open a docket.
Dube said they were now preparing to take their case to the
National Peace and Reconciliation Commission to seek redress.
The party said Mutodi’s remarks were likely to spark
xenophobic attacks against the Ndebeles since he had labelled them foreigners.
Mutodi posted a video on Twitter where he claimed that
Ndebeles are foreigners originally from South Africa who were being taken care
of by the government.
