The Genocide left more than 30 000 people from Matebeleland and Midlands dead in the 1980’s after octogenarian President Robert Mugabe and his malevolent cronies wanted a one party state.
Organisation Director, Nomagugu Khumalo, said after the Minister of Defence Emmerson Munangagwa’s comments that Gukurahundi was a closed chapter they saw it necessary to establish an organisation which would not tolerate the continued injustice over the issue.
“Our main thrust is to address the Gukurahundi issue till justice is served. Emmerson Munangagwa has been on record saying Gukurahundi is a closed chapter. Our stance is that Gukurahundi is an open chapter and we are insisting it will remain so until justice is served,” she added.
The organisation is working with a number of civic bodies in South Africa, the
legal Resources Commission being the biggest and closest sympathizer
to their cause.
Programmes include data gathering and identification of graves, the establishment of
a tribunal, the exhumation of all bodies buried in shallow graves and a cleansing ceremony and re-burial of the remains.
