' #MMSEZ plans will unstructure Nature and once we remove indigenous trees from their rooted standing points, we're interfering with the ecosystems that gives life harmony.' - David Tshidzumba, S.O.L.V.E. Save Our Limpopo Valley Environment Thabo Sibeko Makoma Lekalakala Presidential Climate Commission

'The forest on this land has Zwifho on it. If we disturb our Zwifho, the ancestors' spirits turn their back on us. Life or the living gets harmony from Zwifho. Graveyards, old farms and oldest homesteads are home of our ancestors' spirits, it shall not be removed.' #StopMMSEZ
