Hon Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of ACDP:
That the House -
(1) notes the publishing of the book Gukurahundi, an account of the widespread atrocities that took place between 1980 and 1988 in Matebeleland, Zimbabwe, where an estimated 20 000 people died under the terror of the Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe, and his army;
(2) acknowledges the pain and suffering of a people whose cries were not and are not being heard, for mass killings still continue to take place along with forced labour, beating, torture and sexual abuse, at the Mashonaland Marange diamond fields, allegedly again on President Mugabe's orders;
(3) congratulates the author for relating the terror inflicted on the people of Matebeleland from 1980 to 1988; and
(4) further congratulates Elinor Sisulu for courageously writing the foreword.
Thank you.
