Majongwe responds to Jim Kunaka's confession

Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) Boss Raymond Majongwe has told the nation that his heart bled when he listened to Jim Kunaka's confession because as teachers they went through a traumatic process under the ZANU PF regime.

Said Majongwe, "While others celebrate the bravery of people like Jim Kunaka, today my heart bleeds. On 19 February 2008 I was tortured at Zanu PF Headquarters with 10 other PTUZ comrades. Linda died 3 months after. Two more died within 12 months. The party youths did all this. Now these are the heroes? Shame.

"With all these harrowing stories they have, they must tell us their full story and their reign of terror. We were the first group that was tortured in 2008 and left for dead. I cannot believe the torture inflicted on the lady teachers we had , it was pure Satanic."

Giving his evidence in chief before the commission of inquiry on Wednesday, Jim Kunaka narrated what he alleged as ZANU PF's reign of terror during the 2008 elections.

"There is a high level meeting that seats at the  basement of ZANU PF Headquarters. When we lost elections in  2008, we were called by the military personnel. I was instructed that the country can not go on pen and paper. When I asked what should I do, I was told to go and defend the revolution through doing everything. You know what followed and ZANU PF emerged victorious."Kunaka said.

"When Morgan Tsvangirai was beaten, I will tell you that ZANU PF youths were give riot police gears with button sticks to beat opposition members including Commissioner Lovemore Madhuku.

"There is a slogan in that party that says you cannot separate ZANU PF from its military wing meaning if they lose they send the military and come after you."
