War collaborators and ex-detainees to receive monthly pensions and gratuities
Minister of Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators and Former Political Detainees Retired Colonel Tshinga Dube has revealed that the government is working on aligning laws to allow them to start paying gratuities and monthly pensions to war collaborators and ex-detainees. Dube said that the government is actually vetting and registering these people. The Zimbabwe Liberation War Collaborators’ Association (Ziliwaco) has been pushing the government for compensation and benefits for almost 20 years now.
Said Dube:
We are now working on the alignment of the laws to the Constitution and once this is completed, everything will be alright, but we are not waiting.
Already we are starting [with] registering all the war collaborators. So, we are not sitting, we are really working hard to ensure that this is complete.
We are doing everything to unite the war veterans, but we can only persuade them to unite
