Suspected state security agents in Lupane, Mat North last week chased away activists from the Bulawayo-based pressure group, Ibhetshu LikaZulu, who were trying to fence off a suspected mass grave.
The security agents reportedly threatened the Ibhetshu LikaZulu activists with arrest on accusations that they were holding an unsanctioned ceremony at St Paul Secondary School, where remains of people allegedly killed during Gukurahundi were discovered last month.
Pupils playing football at the school discovered bones sticking out the red earth when the playing ground caved in.
Moses Mzila-Ndlovu, the co-National Healing minister, who has visited the area, said the school where the human remains were found, used to be a detention site during the 1980's Matabeleland and Midlands massacres dubbed Gukurahundi.
