Vice President Kembo Mohadi has received a lot of criticism for saying that activists should not make noise about Gukurahundi. Mohadi went on to say other people had suffered when the Ndebele raided their cattle in the pre-colonial era.
MDC-T Matabeleland North spokesperson, Themba Munkombwe said
Animals are different from people. An apology should be made to Ndebele people.
Post-Independence Survivors’ Trust (PIST) director and MDC Alliance provincial spokesperson, Felix Magalela Sibanda,
How can he cause apprehension and despondence to genocide victims in the name of a Zanu PF campaign? We, as the Bulawayo MDC Alliance, feel it is a national disaster and mockery of Matabeleland and Midlands victims both deceased and living. We are, therefore, demanding unreservedly apology not to this region only but to the nation as a whole….It is most satanic indeed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa keeps him as his VP.
Zpra Veterans’ Association secretary-general Petros Sibanda added,
His comment should be always against his kith and kin, we don’t expect such from his position also he is leading the Healing and Reconciliation committee.

Mohadi does not know what he is talking about. and of-course he is not fit to be where he is. He should be fired for his incompetence.
Not only cattle were raided. Human being were killed and captured.
Taking someone’s livelihood is indirect murder also. Both parties wronged each other and must make peace and move forward without trying to cry the loudest
