BULAWAYO residents are planning to visit the grave of Prince Nkulumane in South Africa for cultural exchange and community building.
The travelling contingent will be made up of residents from the Nkulumane suburb in Bulawayo.
Nkulumane legislator Desire Moyo (Citizens Coalition for Change) told Southern Eye that they want to share their history and explore a twinning arrangement with
local government in South Africa.
“We seek to celebrate our identity and culture as people who reside in a constituency that is named after Prince Nkulumane,” he said.
“We are planning to visit the grave of Prince Nkulumane in Rustenburg, South Africa, to better understand our shared history and to explore a twinning arrangement with the local government there.
“This will also provide an opportunity to engage with the Nkulumane diaspora, mobilising resources to support our development plan.”
He said leaders in the constituency were in consultations with traditionalists ahead of the trip.

“This is important to us because it is our roots and culture. Just like knowing that at Entumbane in Matobo, that is where King Mzilikazi is laid,” Moyo said.
“Last time, some traditionalists and government officials went to look for Lobengula’s grave in Zambia.”
He said they had engaged renowned historian Phathisa Nyathi to assist in their quest to track their roots.
