Jonathan Moyo Releases Details On His Father’s Murder During Gukurahundi

Exiled former cabinet minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has released details about his late father Melusi Job Mlevu’s murder. Mlevu, who was a PF-ZAPU councillor at the time of his assassination, was killed during the 1980s Gukurahundi genocide.

Moyo said his father was forced to dig his own grave under torture and shot several times in front of his family on 22 January 1983. Moyo wrote on Twitter:

On 22 January 1983, my father Melusi Job Mlevu was brutally murdered by Perence Shiri’s Fifth Brigade & Mnangagwa’s CIO.

They tortured him in front of his family; had him dig a shallow grave under torture, pumped bullets into his body & left the grave open!

  1. Prof Moyo, had you somehow forgotten all this when you joined Zanu-PF and participated in the Tsholotsho incident? When the gravy was flowing, surely what you are now revealing must still have been true? What made you forget such killing of your own father? Is it that perhaps you were benefiting from your position?
