Chiefs To Lead Gukurahundi Consultations Starting In 2024

The Government is set to roll out community consultative meetings in January 2024 to engage victims of Gukurahundi, the president of the Council of Chiefs, Chief Mtshane Khumalo has said.

Addressing the media in Bulawayo on Monday, Chief Khumalo said that the Government has provided resources and conducted training for the various people who will be involved in conducting the outreach programmes. CITE quoted Chief Khumalo as saying:

As we go out to the people with our panels as chiefs, we don’t know the perpetrators of Gukurahundi. We can only hear from the people that were affected and who the perpetrators were.

We shall record that and maybe make recommendations to the president as to what we believe should be done to those perpetrators. But as it stands now, we don’t know who the perpetrators were.

Speaking at the same event, the former president of the National Chiefs Council, Chief Fortune Charumbira, who is now Chief Khumalo’s deputy, said Zimbabweans believe in restorative justice, where someone who was wronged must state how they were wronged and how they want to be compensated. He said:

Buy Samsung, itel, Redmi smartphones in Zimbabwe

WhatsApp: +263715068543

The point of departure in this unique way of doing things, you will know from our departure that we are for restorative justice. That is where we differ from the West.

We believe in restoration. If someone loses something, they need to be restored. That is the Zimbabwean way of doing things. To restore the person.

We have dialogues, with the affected people, ask them how they want to be restored and they tell us not the Western system which we say is rich in the procedure, yet very poor in restorative justice.

Our way of doing things is not to make people fight further but to build peace. The government is saying that for those who will submit credible evidence and can state what they want, the government is willing to compensate them.

The reason why we want this to be handled by chiefs is because such issues are culture-sensitive. We want the chiefs to be directly involved so that they can deal with matters because they are culture-specific.

The chiefs will know how to deal with missing persons or those who were affected in any way during Gukurahundi.

We want to deal with this in a way that is peculiar to Zimbabwe. This is why we do not want to nationalise and internationalise this issue. The problem with generalising this is we may lose the cultural aspect of things.

Gukurahundi is a term used to refer to the killing of an estimated 20 000 Ndebele people by the North Korean-trained 5th Brigade of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) which was deployed ostensibly to deal with “dissidents” in the 1980s.

In 2021, President Emmerson Mnangagwa assigned chiefs the task of resolving Gukurahundi in the affected communities.

However, critics questioned Mnangagwa’s sincerity and demanded that Government officials who facilitated the deployment of the 5th Brigade be held accountable for the atrocities.

Plaques that have been erected in memory of Gukurahundi victims have repeatedly been vandalised and the perpetrators have never been identified.

Since 1980, Zimbabwe has experienced several episodes of State-sponsored violence even during elections.

During the 2000 and 2002 elections, 2008 elections, and 2018 elections, several people were murdered in cold blood allegedly by suspected State agents or party activists who were protected by the State.

In January 2019, several people lost their lives after security forces were deployed to quell countrywide riots triggered by a 150% increase in the price of fuel.

I WOULD RATHER THEY LEAVE THIS GUKURAHUNDI THING ALONE THAT PULL WOOL OVER PEOPLE'S FACES. I MEAN, IF INDEED THEY REGRETED WHAT HAPPENED THE MANY SUBSEQUENT ABDUCTIONS, DISAPPEARANCES, AND DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH OPPOSITION AND ELECTIONS WOULD HAVE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AFTER 1987. THE GUKURAHUNDI PLAQUES WOULD NOT BE VANDALISED. NO OPPOSITION POLITICIANS WOULD BE IN CHIKURUBI TO DAY. EVERYONE KNOWS MNANGAGWA IS THE CHIEF PERPETRATOR. KHUMALO HAS BEEN PAID, NOW HE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT. PEOPLE OF NO CONSCIENCE!!

This issue has had so many motifications in its history to an extent of sekusengwa lezi mitiyo, everyone poor of miseducation and school drop out is now a self acclaimed gukura victim, stories being told are rebirth into an exaggerated reality too theatrical to just fit it revelance, Hope this scrutiny will involve carbon dating too to get credibly victims of such atrocities, not only Ndebeles were affected other foreign nationals too and whites were also affected with this Blitzkrieg

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a waste of time, ED is a Crocodile and he is laughing at the Ndebeles becoz he was one of the master minds of Gukurahundi together with ana the late Gudoguru Perrence Shiri. I won't be surprised to know if there is a 21st Century 5th Brigade waiting to be unleashed if People protest against Zanu Pf. I heard rumours of a large number of Zim Soldiers being trained Russia and China, for air force combat and ground force strategies. I hope the Ndebeles won't do anything crazy coz another Gukurahundi will happen and ED will just cover it up. ED is Evil and he sold his soul to the devil

Chiefs are compromised and may not be fair and impartial as they are employees of the state . The chief architectures Mnangagwa who was minister of state during the era will not be asked to appear before the circus.

What can you expect from the likes of Fortune Charumbira, a ZANU apologist? "We don't want to nationalise or internationalise ... Gukurahubdi.." What the heck does that mean? Genocide of 20,000 souls is already an international crime, to be handled by the International Court of Justice in Den Hag! What sincerity is there for Mwene Mutapa to address Gukurahundi in which more than 20,000 (conservatively) souls perished when he couldn't bring to book perpetrators of 6 unarmed civilians gunned down in cold blood on August 1, 2018 and another 19 in January 2019? Ndiko kunonzi kugeza marutsi nemanyoka uku.
