Mphoko says Govt has started the process of reburying Gukurahundi victims

Speaking to The Chronicle on the sidelines of a meeting with small scale miners in Matebeleland South province, Vice President and Minister of National Healing and Reconciliation said that Government has started reburying victims of Gukurahundi.

Said Mphoko:

The Government has introduced a national programme of reburying people who were killed during the liberation war that is being carried out throughout the country. In this part of the country (Matebeleland) that has to be done so that people who were affected by Gukurahundi are given a decent burial and that it is very critical as it will help cool down tempers and emotions.

He also said that apart from reburying victims Government should also issue birth certificates to those affected by Gukurahundi.
