BULAWAYO —Organ on National Healing and Reconciliation co-Minister Moses Mzila Ndlovu has accused Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai of opening old wounds after he described those who left the mainstream MDC as rebels.
Last month, Tsvangirai told the children of the late MDC vice-president Gibson Sibanda that “it was never an intention of their father to rebel against the people.”
The MDC-T leader was welcoming Sibanda’s two children Thandi and Mbuso who joined his party at a rally in Bulawayo.
“That was a very strong and insensitive word to use,” Ndlovu said. “For some of us who are victims of Gukurahundi, we know what the word rebel connotes, especially when you are a Ndebele-speaking person.”
