Gukurahundi Outreach Mnangagwa’s Brainchild, Says Charumbira

The Deputy President of the National Council of Chiefs, Fortune Charumbira, has confirmed that the Gukurahundi Community Outreach Programme is a personal project of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is rolling it out with the assistance of traditional leaders.

Chief Charumbira’s remarks came during his closing address at the official launch of the outreach programme by President Mnangagwa at the Bulawayo State House on Sunday.

These remarks corroborate the views expressed by various commentators who have long asserted that the Gukurahundi community programme is a top-down approach driven by President Mnangagwa. Said Charumbira (via CITE):

So I’m lucky. We are lucky also to be blessed by the president who said, ‘This thing of Gukurahundi, it’s mine as president, I am the owner with the chiefs council. The two of us don’t want anyone to interfere. We asked him ‘we have politburo’ (who may question this) and he said, ‘tell them to come to me’.

Meanwhile, political commentator Brighton Mutebuka said President Mnangagwa’s efforts to address the Gukurahundi atrocities will fall short unless comprehensive measures are taken.

These include ensuring proper justice, healing, honesty, specialist support (such as counselling), dignified burials, accountability, issuance of identity documents, estate resolution, and fair compensation for victims and their families. Said Mutebuka:

Having waited for so long, the victims deserve a credible process. As to what is credible or not – this can only be adequately addressed via a genuine consultative process involving victims and their family members.

ED and the State should not be anywhere near that process. This is because they face accusations of being the perpetrators in the first place.

Their active involvement leaves them open to charges of creating an intimidatory atmosphere – which defeats the very objective that is ostensibly being sought.

Gukurahundi refers to a series of massacres and human rights abuses committed by the Zimbabwean government’s Fifth Brigade against civilians, primarily in the Matabeleland and Midlands provinces between 1983-1987.

Estimates suggest that up to 20,000 civilians were killed during this period, though the exact death toll is disputed.

Some historians, human rights groups, and victim communities have characterised Gukurahundi as a genocide, citing the targeted killings of the Ndebele ethnic group by the government.

However, there is a lack of consensus among scholars and international bodies about whether the Gukurahundi events meet the legal definition of genocide, which requires proof of intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.

THIS WILL FAIIL JUST LIKE HIS POLAD NONSENSE FAILED. AS LONG AS THE BUTCHER OF MATEBELELAND SEEKS TO DICTATE AND CONTROL THE NARRATIVE, NOTHING WILL COME OUT OF THIS. JUST WASTING STATE RESOURCES.

I understand it was genocide against the matebele people. There is too much criticism rather than solutions brought forth. People of matebeleland what is it that you want the president to do for you so that Zimbabwe moves on because every effort they put, you render it nonsense. What should the government do to satisfy you?

Do you live under a rock? It's been stated a million times that Mthwakazi want an independent victim centered bottom up process. Preferably an international Commission like the Motlanthe Commission. Yet you come hear and ask the same questions that have been addressed over and over again. Mnangagwa is a perpetrators, he will be called to the Commission to answer and if needs be apoligise. He should be dictating and driving these processes. This is not his usual POLAD?!

Gugurahundi is Mnangagwa 's brainchild 4sho, ndiye akawuraya... the so called outreach is just nonsense. The Children of the Stars should not take this seriously, it's a charade.

His brain child because he wants to protect himself by quickly closing that chapter. Very easy to abuse the number1 house. What happens when we make you vacate that house by fire and by force? That will be soon and very soon. Remember the fait of Laurent Kabila? The world had bigger and intelligent dictators, some of whom were dug out of holes like mice; Colonel Gaddafi, Sadam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena were shot by firing squad. Lest we forget.

You cannot use a problem to find a solution. It cant. If x is the problem in x + 3=10 you dont use x to find the solution. You leave X alone on the other side: X =10-3. The problem has been solved by others: x=7.

is it correct to say gukurahundi was an atrocity that is why it is been addressed ? so would it not be correct to say those who committed the atrocity should be punished accordingly ? was idi amin ever convicted for the rwandan genocide ? does it mean that the chiefs are preserving the shona and ndebele cultures and ultimately zimbabwean culture or they are now chasing money and clout at the expense of the values of our ancestors ? and then theres the issue of lobengula and mzilikazi raiding shona villages and pillaging them , do we need to address that too ? are the ndebele at all zimbabwean as they fled from shaka during the mfecane ? what is the meaning of a zimabwean , one who can speak shona ?
