President Mugabe has said soldiers that killed thousands of people to crush the late Joshua Nkomo's opposition Zapu party during Gukurahundi did not follow instructions and did so unilaterally.

President Mugabe told Daki Tambo in an exclusive interview on his People of the South programme beamed on SABC 3 on Sunday night that the 5-year genocide in Zimbabwe from 1982 to 1987 was "outrageous" and fuelled by a "personal element".
