Former Higher, Tertiary science and technology minister Jonathan Moyo claims that the Gukurahundi Cabal in General Constantine Chiwenga's Junta today dispatched Tendai Mugabe of The Herald, to go to Buhera to instil fear in his mother.
Moyo posted on twitter saying, "The Gukurahundi Cabal in Chiwenga's Junta has today dispatched one of its media puppets, Tendai Mugabe of the #Herald, to go to Buhera to instil fear in the widow of this 1983 victim of Gukurahundi in Tsholotsho, Melusi Job Mlevu. He was butchered in #Tsholotsho, not in #Buhera!"
Moyo's father, Melusi Job Mlevu, who was a PF-Zapu councillor, was reportedly abducted by the Fifth Brigade in 1982 and ordered to dig his own grave before he was killed in cold blood and shoved into the shallow grave.
He became one of the earliest victims of one of the darkest chapters in Zimbabwe's history.
Moyo has repeatedly refused to be silenced over the thorny Gukurahundi issue, despite efforts by his Zanu PF colleagues to close the chapter without addressing the issues.
Thousands of affected people have failed to properly rebury their relatives for decades, with President Robert Mugabe describing the period as "a moment of madness", but is yet to publicly apologise for unleashing the army on innocent civilians.
Remains of the Gukurahundi victims continue to be uncovered in some parts of Matabeleland, particularly in Lupane, an area that bore the brunt of the mass killings.
