of past gross violation of human rights. These are questions of violations committed during the liberation war, atrocities committed by the state during Gukurahundi, the truth about Operation Murambatsvina, politically motivated assassinations and abductions – the list is endless. Unless we search and unpack these unacknowledged truths, our reconciliation process is a fallacy. NTJWG acknowledges the frustrations with past processes and even some aspects of the current process. It is however our rm belief that the only way forward is to insist on dialogue – to engage the process, no matter how imperfect. We further take this opportunity to reiterate the call by the people of Zimbabwe at the NPRC 'Whats Next Conference' convened on 07 February, 2018, for the Government of Zimbabwe to show its sincerity with the current process by releasing the reports of past commissions including the Dumbutshena Commission and the Chihambakwe Commission. The victims and survivors of atrocities of the past and their families as well as the nation at large have the right to know the contents of those reports. Truth-telling is an important step towards healing. 15 MARCH 2018 We encourage the people of Zimbabwe to commit to the search for truth as part of the drive for reconciliation. We do this in honour of those who have fought this struggle without giving up like Itai Dzamara, Paul Chizuze, among others whose fate remains unknown. Their families and society as a whole, have the inalienable right to know the truth regarding their disappearance. In particular, victims have the right to know the identity of the perpetrators, the causes and facts of such violations and the circumstances under which these violations were committed. This is what this day is about and this is what our reconciliation process must be about.
