The government has been struggling to defend the Kalanga slur by President Robert Mugabe that has torched a storm in social media corridors. Mugabe, in an address that was captured on video, blamed “uneducated” people from Matabeleland South — Kalangas in particular — for skipping the country to South Africa where they venture into petty thieving and crime.
