NewZimbabwe quotes Moyo as saying:<\/p>\n<p>The spirits of over 40,000 people they massacred during Gukurahundi now making them go insane.<\/p>\n<p>Why would both Chiwenga and Mnangagwa, as the nephews of Mthwakazi, kill their uncles?<\/p>\n<p>Both of them Mnangagwa and Chiwenga), as the murderers of our people, are shedding crocodile tears on our people.<\/p>\n<p>They are making Mthwakazi their playing ground. Why is it every time they say these sentiments when they are in Mthwakazi?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t utter such nonsense in Mashonaland because they never perpetrated the Genocide that side.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing his in-laws last week, Chiwenga claimed that his great grandmother was one of King Mzilikazi\u2019s many wives. He also claimed that Mnangagwa\u2019s grandfather, Mubengu, was taken when he was a little boy by Mzilikazi and was kept at the royal kraal until he was put in the Mbizo regiment.<\/p>\n<p>Ousted Ntabazinduna Chief, Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni said the two political elites\u2019 actions suggest that they do not have royal links. He said:<\/p>\n<p>Their joint acts and actions (make a nonsense of) the claim that they have royal links to the Khumalos, because many of the things that they have done are contradictory to the house of Khumalo.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot have such a noble bloodline and yet when it comes to an opportunity of reassuring that bloodline, you reject it.<\/p>\n<p>Mnangagwa was state security minister while Chiwenga was head of the Bulawayo-based One Brigade when the late former President Robert Mugabe authorised a military campaign in Midlands and Matabeleland to \u201cflush out dissidents\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Matabeleland activist group Ibhetshu LikaZulu leader, Mbuso Fuzwayo said Chiwenga\u2019s remarks were an attempt to divert the nation from national issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
