*ED: Let Us Freely Discuss Gukurahundi* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?zu President Emmerson Mnangagwa says Zimbabweans should freely discuss and chart the way forward on the Gukurahundi massacres that occurred a few years after independence from the British in 1980. Thousands of civilians mostly in the Matebeleland and Midlands Provinces were killed by the North Korean-trained Fifth Brigade of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) between 1982 and 1987. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- The army had been deployed to the country’s southern region to hunt down a few hundred renegade former freedom fighters who had gone rogue after independence. In his Independence speech to be aired this Saturday on ZBCtv, President Mnangagwa urged those who were affected by Gukurahundi to come forward and contribute to the “discussion”. He said: > In my view, it is not useful to avoid an issue that affects us as a nation. It is better we discuss the issue and find a lasting solution. In future what is not good for our country can be avoided. > Everybody affected has an opportunity to come forward so that we can discuss it together. We can chart the way forward. The late former president, Robert Mugabe described the disturbances as “a moment of madness”. The massacres ended when the country’s main opposition party at the time, ZAPU, was swallowed by the ruling ZANU PF in an agreement dubbed the Unity Accord signed on 22 December 1987. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
