Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49910, member: 636"] Traditional leaders report success as they meet with Gukurahundi victims across Matabeleland communities. Chief Mtshane Khumalo leads the group conducting these important hearings. The chief spoke with President Mnangagwa last Thursday about how things are moving forward. He wanted the president to hear directly from them rather than through news reports. The meeting helped keep the president informed about their progress. Communities have welcomed the traditional leaders without any major problems. Chief Khumalo says people are cooperating well with the process. The hearings aim to help heal old wounds from the 1980s troubles. Matabeleland and parts of Midlands Province faced difficult times back during those years. Traditional leaders believe they can help bring peace to these areas. Zapu party tried to stop the hearings through court action but failed. The High Court judge ruled against their application last week. Justice Mutevedzi said the case was not urgent enough to halt the process. The court decision cleared the way for hearings to continue without delays. Opposition groups could not prevent the important work from moving ahead. President Mnangagwa gave traditional leaders the job of leading this healing process. He launched the program last July after starting planning back in February 2019. The government wants to solve these problems through local methods rather than outside help. Traditional leaders began preparing for hearings last May when they met with headmen and village heads. The Second Republic hopes these efforts will bring unity to the nation. [/QUOTE]
