Gukurahundi issue haunts Mujuru

THE Paul Siwela-led secessionist Matabeleland Liberation Organisation (MLO) says former Vice President Joice Mujuru cannot escape culpability for the Gukurahundi atrocities, as she was part of President Robert Mugabe’s government during that time.

The ZimPF leader last week denied responsibility for the Gukurahundi atrocities in an interview with Al-Jazeera TV, saying even though she was in government at the time, she was unaware there was a secret army committing mass killings in Matabeleland and Midlands.

But MLO secretary for information Israel Dube accused Mujuru of “shedding crocodile tears in order to solicit for votes in the region”.
