Return Zapu properties: Chamisa

OPPOSITION MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday waded into the long-drawn Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (Zpra) property debate, challenging the Zanu PF administration to respect the late Vice-President Joshua Nkomo’s legacy by returning the several properties seized from his PF-Zapu party at the height of the Gukurahundi era.

The issue of Zpra properties has been a subject of anger following government’s takeover of the assets which were bought by ex-combatants after the liberation war that ended in 1980.

“July is a special month as we remember Dr Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo for the heroic contribution to the liberation struggle,” Chamisa said in a statement yesterday.
