Revealations have emerged that the new Zanu PF National Commisar Engelbert Rugeje is one of the surviving Fifth Brigade operative that massacred over 20 000 people in Matabeleland and Midlands during Gukurahundi.
MDC official Discent Collins Bajila said this is what wikipedia says about Engelbert Rugeje the new Zanu Commissar.
He said Rugeje is a 5th Brigade operative, if Wikipedia is to be trusted.
"Rugeje led a portion of the Zimbabwean military to quash the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) rebellion in Matabeleland from 1983 to 1987. This was whilst he was the commander at Inkomo Barracks (the primary unit under his command being the First Mechanised Battalion). Rugeje ultimately led ZNA forces to victory over the ZIPRA," reads the Wikipedia.
Zanu PF has been unwilling to address the Gukurahundi issues for over 30 years now and the affected regions are now becoming inpatient and making noise about it.
However, academically Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source.
