In 1983 Dabengwa was charged with treason by Mugabe’s government. He was acquitted by the courts but remained in detention until his release in 1986. Dabengwa would in later years say that ZAPU’s armed wing included members from South Africa’s ruling African National Congress , which was fighting the apartheid government and that some of the cached arms belonged to ANC’s military wing.
The 1982 to 1987 massacres have continued to haunt President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was Mugabe’s security minister during the period. Mnangagwa last month said Zimbabweans should openly talk about the massacres, known as “Gukurahundi“, as part of a national healing process. Dabengwa became a government minister for eight years up to 2000 after ZAPU merged with the ruling ZANU-PF. After leaving government, Dabengwa became critical of Mugabe and ZANU-PF policies until his death.
In the run-up to the July 2018 presidential and parliamentary vote, Dabengwa supported opposition leader Nelson Chamisa for the presidency.
