Njini Ntuta (10 September 1924 – 25 November 1984) was a Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) politician.
He was deputy minister of mines in the first post-independence government but was sacked by President Robert Mugabe in a 1982 purge of ZAPU politicians.
Ntuta was assassinated by members of the security forces acting on the orders of Colonel Flint Magama in 1984.
[1] Ntuta was a member of the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and was appointed deputy minister of mines in Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union-led government, the first black-majority government following the end of the Rhodesian Bush War and the Lancaster House Agreement.
Ntuta had himself questioned similar claims for the deaths of other civilians in the preceding months, alleging that the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) had perpetrated the killings.
