Time to close Gukurahundi chapter: Muzorewa

THE United African National Council (UANC) leader Gwinyai Muzorewa has called for closure of the Gukurahundi chapter in order for healing, reconciliation and unity to take root in the country.

Gukurahundi atrocities saw more than 20 000 civilians being killed in cold blood by the Russian-trained Fifth Brigade forces in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces between 1982-87.

Victims were accused of plotting to rebel against the now late former President Robert Mugabe’s regime.
