While this survey produces a snapshot of victims and survivors’ opinions and expectations, it is not comprehensive. If the intent is for the NPRC as well as the TJ framework to be victim-centred then a national, comprehensive research that is suitably resourced needs to be administered to elicit recent sentiment and expectations emanating from this constituency. Participants’ response to question 3 focused on ‘How far back we should go’, indicates that there should be a focus on dealing with the Gukurahundi atrocities and the resultant national silence on this period of our history. The process of operationalizing the NPRC and recent political events has opened up space for civil society and communities to begin the process of healing through truth-telling amongst other mechanism. Speaking to question 6 which questions whether Zimbabwean society can deal with past human rights violations by using traditional conflict resolving methods to bring healing, reconciliation and peace to the community, A key point coming out of the focus group discussions was whether the churches and civil society could have a more prominent role other than the supportive role they have been foist in. “takabva kure ne 16
