During the Zimbabwean liberation struggle, Chimoio was the location of one of the worst atrocities that the Rhodesian army perpetrated against the black Zimbabweans at a refugee camp there. Thousands were killed, most of them unarmed women and children. It is widely believed that a former freedom fighter become informant called Nyathi, was responsible for the betrayal that caught the camp unawares. Its also widely believed that Nyathi was stabbed, murdered in broad day light in 1980 after independence at Mbare Musika, the biggest market place in Zimbabwe. Teixant 21:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
