Enos Nkala
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enos Nkala is a Zimbabwean politician, and co-founder of the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front with Ndabaningi Sithole, Herbert Chitepo, Leopold Takawira and Henry Hamadziripi.
He served in a number of positions in Robert Mugabe's cabinet, including finance, national supplies, home affairs and defence. As Defence Minister he was involved in the notorious Gukurahundi massacre of Ndebele people.
He has stated he regrets his involvement in the genocide experiment. Not only does he describe his involvement as "eternal hell", but publicly blames Robert Gabriel Mugabe for having given orders to the genocide brigade. At the Imbovane YaMhlabezulu meeting held in Bulawayo on 26 February 1998, Enos Nkala who was one of the guest speakers alongside Joseph Msika (National Chairman of ZANU-PF), repeatedly denied any involvement and responsibility in the Gukurahundi genocide.

While serving as Zimbabwe's Home Affairs Minister Nkala rejected allegations by Amnesty International, the London-based human rights organization, who had reported beatings, electric shocks and other torture at Government detention camps after the general election in Zimbabwe in July 2006. [2]
