Gukurahundi In Zimbabwe

The original publication of Breaking the Silence: A Report into the Disturbances in Matabeleland and the Midlands documented in detail the horrors of the Gukurahundi. Now the Report is offered again at a time when the events it describes, the Gukurahundi, have acquired a fresh relevance.

This edition has an introduction by Elinor Sisulu, who reflects on her own and others' silence at the time of the killings, as they celebrated a newly independent Zimbabwe; and a foreword by Archbishop Pius Ncube of Bulawayo, well known for his outspokenness and for his stand against the ongoing human rights violations by the government of Zimbabwe.

It is hoped that the re-availability of the Report will mean that more people will campaign for an end to human rights violations in Zimbabwe, and for restorative justice for the victims.
