Terrence Mawawa| A Zimbabwean social media user has challenged government to take care of thousands of children who were allegedly fathered by those who perpetrated acts of terror in Matabeleland and Midlands Provinces.

Commenting on an article indicating that peacekeepers fathered more than 6,000 children in Liberia since 1990, Pam Kay said the government of Zimbabwe must look after thousands of children who were fathered by the perpetrators of the Gukurahundi atrocities.

Many of the Liberian children have never met their fathers.A support center has been set up in Liberia’s
capital, Monrovia to help the thousands of children left behind by peacekeepers.

Kay argued :”There are also many children in Matebeleland, products of Gukurahundi. Everytime I hear of aid to children of war vets I wonder why there was no compensation for the children of Gukurahundi rape victims. Or even children fathered by ma comrades in villages they were posted. Everytime you post gunmen in communities expect this NATIONAL, BUSINESS, BREAKINGsituation.”
