A political commentator Fabian Chekwa has warned that tribalists must stop using Gukurahundi to push for their political interests.
The remarks come in the wake of Mthwakazi Republic party youth having been recently arrested after the protested at a church services where President Emmerson Mnangagwa was in attendance accusing him of being responsible for the massacres.
"Tribalists who want to take Gukurahundi issues as stepping stone to further their interest . Let it known to you that Zanu PF is not a tribe but a political party. Zanu PF is not shona and shona is not Zanu PF. If there is any cause to call for an action on gukurahundi should be directed to Zanu PF not mashona.some mashona belongs to other parties like Zapu even before independence," Chekwa said.
"Late Joseph Musika was from Zapu but was a shona, Misheck Chinamasa the late was Zapu yet he came from Manicaland not a shona, Enos Nkala was a Ndebele but was Zanu PF and was one of architectures of Gukurahundi. This Gukurahundi issue should be dealt in political fronts than tribal lines."
