All of us – that is to say not only in Africa, but in every country outside of it, there are people who are given commandments, but they do not wish to follow those commandments.
Just like what happened to Jesus. He came, but people killed him. Why? He was helping people. They didn’t realize that if they left him alone, he would help them. Instead they wanted to kill him, and they did.
This is similar to Chaminuka. Chaminuka was leading people, “Do this, do this,” but they killed him. Yet he was leading people, and helping them.
So that voice spoke at Matonjeni, which they called Mabwe aDziva, just beyond Bulawayo. That voice, when you arrive at the cave you all sit together. There are not many totems. There is only one totem, Soko. Yes, there is only Soko. When you enter the cave there you are all Soko. Meaning that voice ended up at Mabwe aDziva. So people erred there, and that voice is no more. It no longer speaks.
That voice, when you find something is troubling you, you simply board a bus and go there. You arrive, and see it is full of people. You sit down. “You are the child of so-and-so, you have come here like this, this, and this. What is troubling you is as follows, and you must do as follows.” That is all. You return, and do what you were told. So I hear that these days, the voice no longer speaks. People have erred.
In Masvingo there is another place, where not just anyone was permitted to go. There, in the stone enclosures, inside the stone walls, there is a place that should not be visited. The reason is that that is where, let’s just say the voice of Mwari, or God, was supposed to dwell there.
Now they have desecrated that place, and it is being visited. Anyone at all simply goes inside, so people have desecrated it. The whites are mainly responsible for desecrating that place, because they made it a tourist attraction. They didn’t know the commandments that the people who lived there followed.
So that mountain there in Masvingo, it is said that it burns all by itself when it rains, without anyone knowing how it has caught fire. They used to hear people speaking from that mountain. You could call to each other, from far away. But you could understand each other, as they spoke there from the mountain. So now, all of that has ended. It is no more.
So that is the way things were in Zimbabwe, and the way we arrived here.
