President Emmerson Mnangagwa highlighted Zimbabwe’s commitment to addressing historical injustices, enhancing economic stability, and driving national progress in a recent address at the Zimbabwe National Elders Forum (ZNEF).
Stressing the importance of reparations and the return of national heroes’ remains still held in British museums, the President reiterated that the legacy of leaders like Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguvi will not rest until they are respectfully repatriated. Additionally, the Zimbabwe National Elders Forum’s new study, “Land Displacements: The Untold Stories of Crimes, Injustices, Trauma, and Losses,” was praised as a vital effort to document the long-suppressed hardships endured by Zimbabweans under colonial rule.
