Mujuru shedding crocodile tears on Gukurahundi

Zimbabwe People First interim leader Joice Mujuru is only shedding crocodile tears on Gukurahundi massacres and cannot escape responsibility, Matabeleland Liberation Organisation (MLO) has said.

Mujuru recently said while in Government she was unaware of the killings that claimed more than 20000 people. However, her remarks have angered MLO.

MLO secretary for information Israel Dube said Mujuru is claiming ignorance "in order to solicit for votes in the region".

"Certainly, people of Matabeleland and the world cannot be fooled.

"If Zanu PF supporters knew about National Army 5 Brigade in the 1980s, knew about its evil work in Matabeleland to the extent of carrying banners and placards with the words, 'Forward with 5 Brigade, we wish you well', how can a Zanu PF top official and wife of a high ranking commander of the national army at the time claim that she did not know about it?" said Dube in a statement.

"She must have been blind or deaf or both. Besides, she is bound by collective responsibility and remains a criminal by association,".

"Survivors of Matabeleland genocide bear physical and emotional scars of Gukurahundi.

"The last thing they need to see is a perpetrator crying crocodile tears (sic) in order to solicit votes from them".
