'Mnangangwa feels no moral obligation to solve Gukurahundi'

MDC-T leader, Nelson Chamisa, says Emmerson Mnangagwa's government feels no moral obligation to address the Gukurahundi atrocities because most of the senior officials including the president himself were accomplices in the gory post-independence violence.

Addressing party supporters at Maphisa Growth Point in Matebeleland South on Thursday, Chamisa said Gukurahundi can only be addressed by a new government.

"I feel pained that today I am close to Balagwe Camp where a lot of people were killed for their ethnicity. So, those who caused the killing of those people cannot console the victims and their relatives. Look, they are failing to even say sorry so that the country can move forward," said Chamisa.

Mnangagwa was the minister of State Security during the ruthless crackdown while the current minister of Agriculture, Perence Shiri was the first commander of the Fifth Brigade which is blamed for the mass murders which targeted mainly civilians from Matebeleland and some parts of the Midlands provinces.
