President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s sincerity to promote Gukurahundi national healing programmes has once again been questioned following the failure by his government to allocate money towards the issue that many insist must be resolved to bring peace and unity.
Human rights activists in Bulawayo this week expressed concern over why Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, in his 2023 budget, failed to set aside money for Gukurahundi consultative processes.
The Gukurahundi Massacres claimed an estimated 20 000 innocent lives in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces in the early 1980s.
Traditional leaders in Matabeleland South have been repeating calls for government to publicly apologise for the Gukurahundi genocide which happened when Mnangagwa was the Minister of State Security.
The Zanu-PF leader opened dialogue on the emotive subject, appointing a team of chiefs to lead the healing process but like his predecessor, the late former President Robert Mugabe, he has not offered any apology for the mass killings.
Speaking at an event to remember Gukurahundi victims organised by the Public Policy Research Institute Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, Ibhetshu LikaZulu secretary-general Mbuso Fuzwayo decried the lack of budgetary support to address the issue.
“They are not telling us the budget for the (Gukurahundi healing) programme. Even the recently announced 2023 national budget by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube did not include the Gukurahundi issue, and so how is it going to be addressed?” Fuzwayo said.
Former Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office in the 2009 to 2013 Government of National Unity, Gorden Moyo said that there was a need for authorities to first acknowledge that there was a genocide and honouring the dead.
“In similar genocides that happened in countries such as Burundi, Rwanda and others, their healing processes started by acknowledging the problem and honouring the dead. That is why they are currently moving ahead economically,” Moyo said.
The event was also attended by National Peace and Reconciliation Commission chairperson Justice Selo Nare, Chiefs Council deputy president Chief Mtshane Khumalo and Women of Zimbabwe Arise leader Jane Williams.

You hate peace
Why wasnt RG asked about all this,(as well)
Patience Rusere he was maybe you missed it!
He said it was ” a moment of madness”!!
Patience Rusere you missed it
Patience Rusere he said he was not thinking straight and mad! Calling it a moment of madness.
😂 No wonder the Country is a mess
if RG’s casual reference to GH “as a moment of madness” is your idea of dealing with GH
Then its madness for sure🤣🤣🤣
Lazarus Nkomo lets be serious Guys , 😂
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka 😂😂 i know RG has becum a Saint of late, but lets be Srs,
I mean jokes aside
Patience Rusere actually is not like we say he deal with it!
Its simply a response to your comment!
But it seems you personal have perceptions on how it should be as related to your comment!
RG appointed a Chihambakwe commission on the the GH!
To be honest the issue is a humanitarian 1 not a political 1!
Currently people are using it as a political gimmick!
Some of us who were directly affected by loosing our parents & relatives want it to be left alone & move on with our lives given the period up to now!
REASON being wrong people would benefit if they are any benefits to emanates therein!
I attended 1 of it commendations around 1998 ( with Imbovane Yamahlabezulu)& it was clear then that the program was hijacked & there was no way the affected family would be involved as most have been scattered even to our neighbors countries!
In my view, GH need to be left as JM Nkomo addressed the refugees in Botswana in 1988! ”
LALANI NGEXHEBA MADODA FOR THE GOOD OF YOUR CHILDREN ”
But unfortunately no1 has been honest ever since!
Mutengesi uyo

Speaking about gukurahundi whilst Zanu is still in power is an insult,the only way is to first bring the perpetrators to book,even in their graves, then you can talk about compensation.Remove ZANUPF first.
