My first time to hear that Zimbabweans migrated to Kenya decades ago. Its to be recognized in a foreign country, but I would Like to thank President Kenyatta for recognizing our brothers and sisters in Kenya.Registering them as citizens shows his great character as a man of people. This how we live in the world,thumbs up to the President

Good presentation @Nosizi
My prayer is that the government may allocate free land for all of you so that you may settle with your families
May God give you good jobs where you will earn descent incomes

I wish our government would take them back and give them citizenship if they still want to be back.

[@samutykuntathebantu8402]

How comes inhave not meet this wonderful people i wanna marry a shona where are you!

[@julesmatunge]

Well done muShona!

[@XolaniMzilikazi-qy8vf]

They should come back to Zimbabwe

[@francybenson4227]

I am applaud I have never the history of the Shona people being in Kenya and stateless especially knowing they are Zimbabwean..The Zimbabwean history has a lot of loop holes considering these people visited Kenya in the 1960s as Missionaries

[@tendaifushai5651]

Zimbabwe began in 1980... and the British Nationality act of 1981 sealed their fate as stateless... i do think there was some provision to obtain Zimbabwean citizenship...

[@daveokamasuku]

Nosizi Dube, thats a Ndebele Name and Surname

[@IB_info]

I think they just categorized everyone who came from Zimbabwe as Shona.

[@adams6798]

Lots of Shonas have such names like the Kalangas,

[@thedon5748]

There are Zimbabweans period

[@tendaichiveto5157]

Here's a lesson for Zimbabweans.These people Shona and Ndebele have merged to make a vibrant and cohesive community. Need I say more

[@siyabulelamlungwana8181]

​@adams6798 they is no shona called Nosizi Dube.she is zulu ,ndebele, or swazi. Not a shona do not lie.

[@XolaniMzilikazi-qy8vf]

Why didn’t they return to Zimbabwe, why

[@ritambinji3369]

Zimbabweans have a country which is not fighting why can't they ho back.

[@rzmadzore]

leave them ...they are fine there

[@siyabulelamlungwana8181]

Nosizi Dube is Zulu ,ndebele and swazi NOT shona.she is Ndebele NOT shona.

[@talkrealkenya8035]

We've never discriminated these community that lady is not talking good

[@kim1570]

Let it slide bana... She was only 20 and tried to explain their situation the best way she could. We know she meant that they have been unable to access government services and other essentials like the rest of us documented Kenyans, rather than them facing prejudice based on the fact that they're not originally Kenyan.

[@martinfisshy9052]

But they cant speak Shona language
