When you write an  historic account never rely on local media or journalists, this is the lesson here.
These are the facts hidden in the knowledge that journalists have zero reasoning ability and would blame Mugabe.
I personally interviewed Ted Sutton-Price who at the time was the consultant on Zimbabwe for  psychological warfare in Pretoria who claimed the massacre was his best and most successful  operation.
He told me that South Africa was concerned that independence would spread to South Africa.
They reasoned and it was confirmed  by local Brit intelligence that Britain would turn a blind eye as Zimbabwe had moved towards Russia and the cold war.
When he left Home Affairs in Zimbabwe, he transferred those employees used to destabilize the terrs to the SA payroll. They needed to discredit Mugabe by using his former employees to stir up political unrest, Mugabe would send in this fitth army not trusting the integrated army.
They would send in their trained terrorists. I have records.
