The late nationalist Jason Ziyaphapha Moyo’s brother David Moyo took the time to speak to The Standard and spoke about the sacrifices he made for this country and how he has nothing to show for it.
Speaking to the publication Moyo said he still doesn’t have a decent place to live and he survives on food donated by his family 40 years after the liberation struggle.
Moyo who said he was heartbroken by the situation said:
I am still nursing injuries I sustained during the war. I lost my brother Ziyaphapha in the same war.
My heart is broken to realise that after 40 years of independence, I am still crammed in a three-roomed house with one bedroom, which I share with my mother-in-law who is now 90 years old.
I am also supposed to queue for mealie-meal and look for other basic commodities to feed my family.
It really boggles my mind to realise that I am now at an advanced age and having liberated this country through my sacrifice, I still have nothing tangible that I will leave behind for my family to lay hands on
Moyo also said, President Mnangagwa must be reminded about the atrocities that took place in Matabeleland :
President Emmerson Mnangagwa was the right-hand man of Mugabe and should be reminded that he was in the forefront during the time when there were atrocities in Matabeleland
First lady Auxilia Mnangagwa reportedly met with Moyo last year and promised to build him a big house. a promise she is yet to fulfil to this day.
