‘MNANGAGWA gvt blocks coronation of the Ndebele King Bulelani Collins Khumalo , stating, that it is unConstitautional to resuscitate and install a Crown Prince of King in Zimbabwe’

Soldiers reportedly stormed white city stadium to block preparations for the event , saying the White City Stadium event is not allowed to take place’
Zimbabwean Government has reportedly blocked the coronation of the Ndebele King Bulelani Collins Khumalo which was slatted for White City Stadium in Bulawayo on Saturday on unclear conditions.
 
Intelligence sources say the local government has since written a letter to the organisers of the event to advise them that the event should be cancelled and can not take place at the stadium.
 
The stadium is set to be used by government on Sunday to celebrate the appointment of Kembo Mohadi as Vice President.
 
Soldiers reportedly stormed the stadium when preparations for the event were on going and order them to stop saying the event is not allowed to take place. This is after the police had since granted their application for clearance for the event.
 
“We really do not understand what has happened because police had cleared us,” said one of the organisers who asked to remain anonymous.
 
“We have received a letter from Local government ministry saying the event can no longer go ahead. We are contemplating taking the matter to the courts.”
 
More developments are expected in the matter as it appears to be sensitive and may spark outrage in Bulawayo and other Matabeleland areas who expected to have an official king installed. Bulelani is supported and spearheaded by the Matabeleland Chiefs who wanted the king to work with government in all the programmes.
 
July Moyo, a close ally of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is the current Minister of Local Government Public Works and National Housing has blocked the coronation of the ‘Ndebele King’ Bulelani Collins Khumalo which was slatted for Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo on Saturday.
 
Moyo wrote a letter to Chief Matema who is the Crown Council Chairman.

We acknowledge receipt of your letter notifying my Ministry of your intention to install a Crown Prince to the throne of King Lobengula on the 3rd of March 2018 and would like to advise you as follows:
 
• That it is unConstitautional to resuscitate and install a Crown Prince of King in Zimbabwe
 
• and that therefore you should cancel your intended installation of Crown Prince Bulelani Lobengula scheduled for 3rd March 2018 in Bulawayo because it is unConstitutional and therefore illegal to do so.
 
Thank you.
