Zimbabwean Jails Reserved For Lawbreakers, Not Just Opposition - ZANU PF

The ruling ZANU PF party says Zimbabwean jails are not exclusively for opposition activists, but rather for individuals who commit crimes, including members of the party itself.

This comes amid the recent detentions of scores of opposition activists without bail, as the ZANU PF-led government has made it clear it will not tolerate protests during the upcoming 44th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Heads of State and Government Summit on August 17.

In an interview with NewsDay on Tuesday, ZANU PF’s director of information, Farai Marapira, defended the government’s actions, saying the police arrest criminals regardless of their political affiliation. He said:

Jails are not set on partisan matters. We also have some ZANU PF members who are in jail. If you commit a crime, you are arrested and this is clear.

We have several people from ZANU PF who are also in jail and it is not fair for the opposition party to point fingers at us because we don’t force anyone to commit a crime.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi contested ZANU PF’s claims, claiming that CCC members and human rights activists have been arrested without committing any criminal offences. Said Mkwananzi:

We are continuing to see arrests of our members and this has become too much. We are even finding it difficult to attend national programmes like the Heroes Day celebrations because we do not have a guarantee that our members are safe.

On June 16, CCC chief administrator Jameson Timba, along with 77 other party activists, were arrested while commemorating the Day of the African Child. The CCC members have remained in detention since that time.

In the weeks following the initial arrests, authorities have continued to detain and charge numerous activists with a range of offences, including allegations of disorderly conduct and holding unlawful gatherings.

Political activists and opposition members are not awaiting trial. They are already doing time in jail. When Dambudzo is satisfied that they have suffered, the 'professional' courts will find them not guilty. Monzi roverai matare maoko okugona basa uku majere mapedza basa through pretrial detention.

Is a protest a crime?

Protests are not crimes. But intensions to incite violence and disrupt the peace is regarded as a crime all over the world.

An illegal demo is illegal. Murikuda kuita demo, approval yacho mapihwa nani?
Anonymous · 7 months ago
Any demonstration that is not sponsored by the party has been made illegal by ZRP. So your statement is worthless. The law applies to some differently to others, so what value is it?

Pharoah you must be ashamed of yourself it's only you doing your job like Simon Khaya Moyo fired mngagwa only to sit together with mnangagwa when he announced Mugabe is stepping down

Yes but treatment differ. Those who are trying to threaten you comfort are treated harshly that those who committed other crimes eg rape or even murder. Eg Why was Chamisa denied to see Job Sikhala when Monzora was not?
