Unobhala jikelele obona ngokwethulwa kwemibiko kunhlanganiso yeMthwakazi 1893, uMnu. Thembani Dube uthi abantu bazaphiwa ithuba lokwethula ababhekana lakho ngesikhathi sombhuqazwe weGukurahundi.
“Ngokukhanda amazwi ukuthi kwenziweni ngaleGenocide eyehlela abantu bakithi izigigaba zonke lezi ezehlela abantu bakithi. Okunye futhi yikuthi abantu babelethuba lokukhuluma ukuthi kwenzakalani kibo, nni, ngasikhathisini, kuziphi izigaba. Sikhangelele ukuthi abantu bake bahlanganise amakhanda bakhande amacebo lamasu ukuthi udaba lolu singalubamba njani njengesizwe sakoMthwakazi.”
Inengi labantu lithi sokuyisikhathi sokuthi uhulumende kaMongameli Emmerson Mnangagwa kukhulunywe laye ngaloludaba kodwa uDube uthi cha.
“Inhlanganiso ye 1893 Mthwakazi Human Rights Restoration Movement kayiboni indingakalo okwamanje ukuthi ikhulume lohulumeni weZimbabwe. Indingakalo ekhona yikubutha abantu ibahlanganisa ngoba abantu bachithwachithwa yiGukuraundi Genocide, so yiso isikhathi sokubutha abantu sokubutha isizwe, sikhangele lolodubo. Silukhangele ukuthi udubo lolu oluphambi kwethu singalulungisa kanjani, macebo bani esingawakha ukuthi udubo lolu lulungiswe. Yikho lapho esigxile khona.
Umhlangano lo uvulelwe abantu bonke kungakhathalekile ukuthi ngubani kumbe usekela liphi ibandla.
Udaba lombhuqazwe weGukurahundi soluhluphile kakhulu kulezinsuku. Kukhanya inkokheli lohulumende kathakazeleli ukukhuluma ngalo kuloba abantu bekhonana nsukuzonke.
