CRIMSON TAZVINZWA, AIWA! NO!||Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa Press Secretary George Charamba in a scandalous claim during an interview with The Standard Sunday says Gukurahundi was a war.The Gukurahundi was a series of atrocious massacres of Ndebele civilians carried out by the Zimbabwe National Army from early 1983 to late 1987. It derives from a Shona language term which loosely translates to “the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains”.
