MASHONALAND Central Governor and Resident Minister Martin Dinha has castigated the MDC formations for denigrating senior Zimbabwe Defence Forces officers that sacrificed a lot to liberate Zimbabwe.
Governor Dinha said this last week during the reburial of remains of former freedom fighters that were dumped at disused mine shafts at Chibondo.
“It is disheartening that the traitors are now spitting in the faces of those that liberated them. We should not allow them to do that.
“They now have the temerity and the audacity to call for security sector reform and pour scorn on our service chiefs and talk about human rights.
“Where were the human rights when our people were being massacred.”

Governor Dinha said the Europeans and the British had no moral standing to teach Zimbabwe about human rights and democracy.
“They cannot teach us anything about human rights and democracy.
“The people lying here are the ones that fought for human rights and democracy,” he said.
The governor said the Chibondo Shrine should always be a reminder to Zimbabweans about the sacrifice that was made to liberate the country.
Governor Dinha said Zimbabwe owes its nationhood and independence to heroes like those buried at Chibondo who paid with their lives for the country to achieve freedom.
Speaking at the same occasion, the chairperson of the Fallen Heroes Trust of Zimbabwe and Zanu-PF politburo member, Cde George Rutanhire, urged Government to seek legal recourse against the
British government for the atrocities committed by the white settler regime.
“The white settler regime started burying people at this place in 1972.
“Some of them were buried alive while others were pregnant women.
“This shows that the Ian Smith regime was bent on exterminating the black race.
“Government should sue them in international courts for these atrocities that were committed against out people,” he said.
Cde Rutanhire urged Government and other Zimbabweans to contribute to the decent reburial of other fallen heroes buried in mass graves countrywide.
The reburials of remains that were exhumed early this year are expected to be completed in a week’s time.
FHTZ and the Department of National Monuments and Museums are leading the reburial process.
