Moses Mzila-Ndlovu the former National Healing co-minister has declared that he will never lose his voice in demanding justice for Gukurahundi victims.
Mzila-Ndlovu was arrested several times since the formation of the inclusive government for speaking about the 1980s disturbances.
Mzila-Ndlovu, a senior member of the MDC led by Welshman Ncube, said it was only through openly speaking about the massacres that victims could find closure.
However, since Mzila-Ndlovu lost his Bulilima West seat to Zanu PF, he has been keeping a low profile which he attributed to the low media coverage he was now getting.
"The kind of media coverage that we used to get before the elections is different to the one that we get now. Maybe the media has shifted focus and this may sound to the general public as if I lost my voice after the elections," Mzila-Ndlovu.
Mzila-Ndlovu said he would remain outspoken over Gukurahundi until there was justice.
"It is inconceivable to suggest that I will keep quiet because of the July 31 elections outcome. The issues that I was articulating before still remain unresolved and as such, Mzila-Ndlovu will keep calling for justice. It is not my fight, but a fight for every Zimbabwean seeking justice for human rights violations," Mzila-Ndlovu said.
