Gukurahundi MP threatened

Magwegwe MP Felix Magalela Sibanda (MDC-T) claims he has received death threats from unidentified people who accused him of continuously raising the emotive Gukurahundi debate and advocating for compensation of the victims of the atrocities.

Sibanda, who heads a Bulawayo-based human rights pressure group, Post-Independence Survival Trust, said two unidentified men driving an unregistered black car stalked him twice last week after he announced plans to introduce a private members Bill to force Parliament to enact legislation to provide for compensation of victims of the Gukurahundi massacres.

From the 20th of this month, there are two men who have been stalking me, said Sibanda, adding he would not be cowed into submission.
