The 'I be 16 years' crooner singer, Belinda Ekua Amoah aka Mzbel said recently in interview with Ghana TV that she does not believe Jesus Christ exist.

"I don’t want to offend anybody, I use to
believe in him, but according to my own
research I think he was made up, I might be wrong but I think he was made up, I don’t know if Jesus is the messiah."

Mzbel did not say why she made such statement. According to her she used to believe in Christianity way back up to the extent that she prayed one day and smoke filled her room.

"I actually prayed in my room one time, until it my room was filled with smoke, I called my pastor and told him that there were witches in my home and he told me that the presence of God was with me in my room, but now trust I
won’t believe in it any-more."

Why the change of heart towards Christianity and Jesus Christ; she didn't say.

The Ndebele people of Zimbabwe were part of Southern Africa before they had to migrate. Why?
The Ndebele people had existed as an independent nation till 1893 when King Lobengula was forcefully removed from power by the British colonialists.
The history of the Ndebele people begun when they were part of the Zulus until a Zulu chief has a split from King Shaka in the early 19th century under the leadership of Mzilikazi, a former chief in his kingdom and ally. The unhappy Zulus went on to conquer the Ndebele people. Thus the name, Chief Mzilikazi named his kingdom Mthwakazi but the European's called it Matabeleland. Chief Mthwakazi later migrated his people to the present day Zimbabwe eventually,creating a land now called Matabeleland and encompassing the west and south-west region of the country.
Today, the (ama)Ndebele of Zimbabwe or bakwaKhumalo (the people of Khumalo) are the second largest population of Zimbabwe and their language is isiNdebele, and just like their South African (ama) Ndebele counterpart is one of the official languages of the state.

 





















"The chameleon gets behind the fly, remains motionless for some time, then he advances very slowly and gently, first putting forward one leg and then another. At last, when well within reach, he darts his tongue and the fly disappears. England is the chameleon and I am that fly." — Lobengula,the second and last king of Ndebele.
