By Dorothy Moyo | The MDC renegade Morgen Komochi has described the late Gukurahundi mercenary, Gen Edzai Chimonyo, as a great professional commander.

Gen Chimonyo died following a struggle with cancer during the week.

The late was the Zimbabwe national army commander, having served in the military since the early 1980s. He participated in the infamous genocide that ended the lives of a reported 30000 innocent lives in Midlands and Matebeleland.

Komichi is the Mwonzora political outfit’s National Chairperson.

Writing on Saturday, Komichi said Chimonyo was “a true and professional soldier; a great commander indeed.”
