Human remains were found scattered along the banks of Bhode River near Kezi Business Centre, Matobo district. The bones were discovered by Mrs Antonetta Nyathi who said that she had gone to the river to look for soil to go and work on her mud floors at her home.
Speaking at the scene last week, Chief Nyangazonke said he suspected that the remains belonged to people killed during the liberation war. He also revealed that he was in the process of consulting the community on the way forward and indicated that they might dig up the rest of the remains and rebury them somewhere. However, Matabeleland South Police spokesperson Inspector Philisani Ndebele told The Chronicle that he had not yet received a report on the matter.
