Govt Tampers With Gukurahundi Mass Graves

Speaking to Southern Eye, Mthwakazi Republic Party president Mqondisi Moyo accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government for tampering with Gukurahundi mass graves at Bhalagwe Shrine, in Kezi, Matabeleland South Province.

He said government erased inscriptions on the mass graves and replaced them with a commemoratory structure inscribed; “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” erected behind the two mass graves. Moyo said the Gukurahundi graves were later mixed with those of local war heroes which saw the shrine being turned into a Matopo District Heroes Acre. Said Moyo:

The delegation which was accompanied by victims and international journalists was shocked to discover that the inscriptions on the graves that read ‘Mass Graves’ have been erased by plastering on them. The concealing plaster is still new, indicating that this horrible act was done recently. The victims of Gukurahundi were evidently pained with this blatant act of tampering with the evidence of the genocide. Bhalagwe is not a heroes shrine; it is a genocide victims’ site.
