Terrence Mawawa|Respected political analyst Jeffryson Chitando believes Gukurahundi shadows are haunting Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa such that he does not have the “will power” to celebrate Unity Day.

Read Chitando’s statement below:”The so called new despensation has failed to commemorate the 22nd of December Unity Day as former President Mugabe used to do.Its no surprise to many as to why the ED Mnangagwa’s ZanuPF government has failed to honour the peace agreement between Dr Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe- it is because of the fear to open old wounds.

The people of Matebeleland have alleged that the new despensation is led by Gukurahundi ringleaders. Mnangagwa was the Minister of State security during the political disturbance in the western parts of the country. Perrance Shiri was head of the most hated 5th brigade,accused of committing atrocities in Matebeleland and Midlands Provinces.

Politically it would be misfiring for Mnangagwa government to celebrate the Unity Day for it would be like celebrating the atrocities.
