#542013-10-23 08:33l hope this does not smack of old sinister tricks we are too familiar with. Unfortunately , on a closer look it does. How else does one explain how this crappy exam paper was endorsed? As if this were not enough insult, you ZIMSEC officials unabashedly defend it! That exam paper goes to show how the Ndebele language is under siege. We can and will no longer TOLERATE THIS CULTURAL SUBJUGATION. We demand answers, not lame excuses and arrogance! |

#552013-10-23 12:03It is one's true and undistorted language that defines them. Therefore protecting one's language from deliberate distortion is every being's responsibility. Mahlabezulu vikelani isiko lobuntu benu. |

#57 Pissed off2013-10-23 16:38This paper has shown how rotten the Zimbabwean education has become. We are now the laughing stock of Africa after we once had the best education in Africa. Failure to accept this "mistake" will prove how disgusting the Zimbabwean system has become. Till this day you cant find a so called expert who knows Ndebele culture,, nxaaaa |

#592013-10-23 16:42This is what we were expecting from a government that doesnt listen to its people. How do you expect to set a Ndebele paper if you cant even know the Ndebele people? |

#662013-10-23 22:06Pliz ZIMSEC dont use those words, they are not for exposure especially in a exam for children. I grew up in a Ndebele setting and i know what i mean. Accept that you are wrong and then correct. Pride and denial will victimise these innocent souls. We expect you to protect kids not to destroy kids. pliz |
