Indeed this is a new dispensation. The process to heal and integrate each other will make Zimbabwe the great country it ought to be. Allowing people to talk about Gukurahundi freely has a curative effect.

It’s a positive development to get such a commitment from the Government. We’ll wait for the implementation of what has been pledged.
