The Mthwakazi Republic Party is using the current activism period to call for justice over the Gukurahundi massacres. MRP leader Mqondobisi Moyo stated that this campaign highlights gender-based atrocities from that time and the ongoing official silence. He described the violence in the 1980s as a deliberate, tribal genocide aimed at destroying communities in Matabeleland and the Midlands. Moyo emphasized the lasting trauma for women who were raped and killed, and for children born from that violence who face identity issues.
He criticized the government's failure to acknowledge these events or provide justice, calling the stance morally bankrupt. The MRP demands an independent process for reparations and truth. Moyo specifically called on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to publicly address allegations about his own role during that period. The group argues that real advocacy for women must include confronting this historical violence.
