ZANU PF secretary for security Lovemore Matuke this week denied reports that he directed party organs to disband WhatsApp groups which were allegedly being used by some members to cause divisions in the party.
ZANU PF provincial spokespersons recently ordered members to disband the WhatsApp groups with immediate effect while threatening those defying the order with unspecified action.
Provincial leaders insisted that the directive to close them had come &#8220;from above.&#8221;
Speaking to <a href="https://www.theindependent.co.zw/local-news/article/200012026/whatsapp-gag-order-divides-zanu-pf">The Zimbabwe Independent</a> this week, Matuke said he never issued the directives. He said:
<blockquote>
Those reports are false. We are not aware of such a directive or even a recommendation from my department.
</blockquote>
The publication reported sources within the party as saying ZANU PF top brass could not monitor the activities of members in other WhatsApp groups.
Nigel Murambiwa, who is the ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial secretary for information and publicity, is one of the provincial leaders who directed the disbandment of WhatsApp groups last weekend. He said:
<blockquote>
We did not just ban WhatsApp groups. There are rowdy groups that were formed prior to our internal primary elections and some of the losing candidates and disgruntled supporters of losing candidates are posting denigrating messages that seek to divide or put the name of the party into disrepute. Those are the ones we ordered our members to take down.
</blockquote>
Early this year, ZANU PF accused CCC supporters of hijacking constituency WhatsApp groups to campaign for their leader, Nelson Chamisa.
Meanwhile, President Emmerson Mnangagwa&#8217;s campaign teams have created WhatsApp groups and have been inviting voters to join the groups after clandestinely obtaining their mobile phone numbers.

Top ZANU PF Official Denies Banning WhatsApp Groups

The Mthwakazi Republic Party (MRP) Youth League has threatened to close all the country&#8217;s borders and airports before the August elections to end the smuggling of precious metals including gold.
MRP accused individuals linked to ZANU PF of gold smuggling saying the Government was doing nothing to stop the vice.
Speaking at an MRP star rally held in Lobengula Hall in Bulawayo on Thursday, Mudenda Chilumbo, Chairperson of the MRP Youth League said Zimbabweans should restore the spirit of the liberation struggle to stop resource plundering by the ruling elite. <a href="https://cite.org.zw/mrp-youths-threaten-to-close-borders-and-airports-to-curb-gold-smuggling/">CITE</a> quoted Chilumbo as saying:
<blockquote>
We have the borders at Plumtree, Beitbridge and Kazungula plus airports that are the Joshua Mqabuko International Airport in Bulawayo and the Victoria Falls International Airport, we will take them to a halt.
No plane will fly from Joshua Mqabuko or Victoria Falls International airports. No haulage trucks will also move out of the border. This is the only way to stop this nonsense.
We have doctors, nurses and teachers who are suffering yet there are gold smugglers.
It is our duty to stop that nonsense. Let us restore the spirit of the liberation struggle.
</blockquote>
In March and April this year, Al Jazeera premiered &#8220;Gold Mafia&#8221; which exposed individuals, some with links to the Government and State institutions, allegedly involved in gold smuggling and money laundering.
“Gold Mafia” is a four-part investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) which exposed gold smuggling gangs in Southern Africa.
The gangs help criminals launder hundreds of millions of dollars, getting rich themselves while plundering their nations.
They use gold to turn dirty cash into clean, seemingly legitimate money for those with large amounts of unaccounted wealth.
The gangs do so by using a complex web of companies, counterfeit identities and fake documents.

MRP Threatens To Seize Airports, Borders To Stop Gold Smuggling

War veteran, diplomat, and former Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe CEO Ambassador Thomas Mandigora has died from a stroke suffered last month.
His youngest daughter Rufaro said the gap left by her father is irreplaceable adding that he was her pillar of strength. She said:
<blockquote>
I am failing to express my father’s attitude towards myself and the whole family. He provided everything for the family. He was a jovial man who understands and committed to his family.
</blockquote>
He served as Ambassador to Botswana for 12 years, working to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Zimbabwe and Botswana. He also worked for ZANU during the war and joined the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation after the war, serving in various capacities before becoming CEO of BAZ.
He held a Masters in Business Administration degree and a post-graduate diploma in Business Administration. 
Deputy Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Kindness Paradza, described Ambassador Thomas Mandigora as a trained journalist who worked well with others in the media and had a jovial personality. He said:
<blockquote>
He was a director of news and current affairs at ZBC. He was our mentor and we worked very well.
He was a loving friend and a mentor who has a passion for his job. Our hearts bleed because we lost a hero.
</blockquote>
His colleagues have requested a hero status for him.

Ambassador Thomas Mandigora Has Died

Presidential spokesperson George Charamba has claimed that the late former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was irked by Nelson Chamisa in 2009 and had to ask then president, Robert Mugabe to give him a ministerial portfolio to pacify him.
Charamba made the claim on Twitter while responding to Chamisa&#8217;s post outlining his &#8220;achievements&#8221; during the Government of National Unity (GNU) era.
Chamisa, who now leads CCC, said he introduced the Zimbabwe ICT policy framework, made ICT products cheaper and affordable, and removed duty on ICT products among other achievements.
He was responding to one Nzekete AG who had asked what he (Chamisa) achieved when he was ICT Minister during the GNU era.
However, Charamba said Chamisa did not achieve anything but the ICT policy framework he alluded to was introduced by Mugabe.
Charamba also claimed that Chamisa and the current CCC vice president were troublesome to Tsvangirai who then asked Mugabe to appoint them to the Cabinet to get them off his back. Wrote Charamba:
<blockquote>
WE HAVE ALLOWED THIS YOUNGSTER TO SPIN A YARN FOR TOO LONG. HERE ARE THE FACTS:
Late President RG Mugabe started a campaign to computerise schools and colleges long before Chamisa was known.
The late President would save from his Travel and Subsistence allocation to build a fund for buying computers.
Lawrence Kamwi, then his Principal Private Secretary, minded that Fund, with Wonder Nyamurima who is still in Government, handling the distribution programme in schools.
Our first donation was at a high school very close to Kadhani in Mondoro. All this was well before GNU, which is when Chamisa appears, even then as a Mugabe appointee.
Then came GNU; late Tsvangirai pleaded with President Mugabe kuti kamukomana aka kanondinetsa (this young boy is a nuisance) if you don’t give him a bone.
He said the same naTendai Biti, who was his other headache. VaMugabe heard Tsvangirai and then asked: saka tokaisepi? (what portfolio should we give him) Tsvangirai: chero kwamada kusina basa (give him even a useless portfolio).
VaMugabe then said: Computers and ICT are generation-specific in that they are needed by our youths; I will put him there so he plays champion among his age-mates.
That’s how Chamisa was appointed, even though he had no clue. The programme had long taken off. VaMugabe had another reason: strangely, during negotiations, our side had ceded Information and Publicity to MDC-T.
I and Jonathan Moyo raised hell and ended up engaging the President for this ill-thought decision. MaChinja were not amused.
President Mugabe then created ICT ministry whose mandate was drafted by Madame Nhekairo.
It was another disaster as several corporates, including telecommunications, were ceded to ICT.
Again, we went back to complain, unsuccessfully this time! The late President reasoned that we did not need to fear as Ministry control of telecommunications companies would be minimal given the presence of POTRAZ as the regulator.
The late President engaged Hewlett Packard, which has just been taken over by the Chinese as LENOVO.
Computers were already flowing in. Prices for SIM cards fell because of competition hotting up in telecomms industry, and in line with global trends.
Chamisa did absolutely nothing besides presiding over the inevitable!!!!!!
&#8230; Kakagara kachitemesa Tsvangirai musoro; iko naBiti. At some point Tsvangirai wanted Biti fired.
Biti was saved by vaMugabe who by then knew Biti was preparing to break away. Tsvangirai aida kutsvaira Biti kuSpecial Congress yakaitwa Bhuruwayo.
Biti mounted a well-funded, donor-driven counter (Americans poured money kwete mbijana) and neutralised Tsvangirai.
Biti would later confide this to President Mugabe in Cape Town where both attended WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM!!!! Tinenge takanyarara not because we do not know!!!!

"Tsvangirai Asked Mugabe What To Do With Chamisa, Biti"

Harare East MP, Tendai Biti (CCC), says Zimbabwe is in the hands of kleptomaniacs hence there is a need for citizens to vote ZANU PF out of power in the upcoming general elections.
Biti was speaking to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/https-www-newzimbabwe-com-zim-being-run-by-kleptomaniac-govt-biti/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> in Ward 9 Tafara, where he was conducting a door-to-door campaign as the opposition party prepares for general elections. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s urgent that there is Change and transformation in Zimbabwe. We are run by kleptomania, a government (that) steals and steals and cannot look after its poor. Mthuli Ncube has failed and failed in absolute terms.
</blockquote>
According to Mayo Clinic, kleptomania is a mental health disorder that involves repeatedly being unable to resist urges to steal items that you generally don&#8217;t really need.
Recently, American economist Steve Hanke said Zimbabwe’s inflation currently stands at 666%.
Hanke also named Zimbabwe as the most miserable country in the world and said &#8220;ZANU PF operates more like a political Mafia than a political party.”
Meanwhile, Biti said he has a track record in leadership and &#8220;has been in the struggle since 1986 as a student.” He said:
<blockquote>
Harare East has the national duty of returning Tendai Biti to Parliament so he can continue working for the country.

Zimbabwe Being Run By A Kleptomaniac Government, Says Biti

ZANU PF Mashonaland West province party members have been ordered to delete all WhatsApp groups linked to the ruling party with immediate effect.
According to a notice issued by ZANU PF Mash West province’s Information Department secretary, Godwin Nigel Murambiwa, all WhatsApp groups created for members to discuss party-related business must be closed forthwith. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
The Department of Information would like to advise all members, cadres, Cdes, and all affiliates organisations that an instruction has been issued by the security department to dissolve or delete all WhatsApp groups that talk or have links with the party ZANU PF with immediate effect.
However, constituents are allowed to formulate, manage and organise one group incorporating every party member.
All secretaries for information from all organs are therefore empowered to monitor the activities of the groups in constituencies.
</blockquote>
Murambiwa warned members who would ignore the instruction that they will be dealt with in accordance with the party constitution.
Last month ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa accused CCC supporters of cyber-bullying after they allegedly hijacked the ruling party&#8217;s WhatsApp groups to campaign for their leader Nelson Chamisa. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200010384/ccc-hijacks-zanu-pf-campaign-platforms">NewsDay</a> quoted Mutsvangwa as saying:
<blockquote>
We are being trolled. They are infiltrating our software. The WhatsApp groups were created by some ZANU PF members who wanted to interact with the people on behalf of the President.
We have the support of people. Cyber war games against ZANU PF won&#8217;t work.
It will not affect the outcome of the poll. There are hardly a million on social media.
The majority of Zimbabweans don&#8217;t have smartphones, especially in rural areas so social media won’t be effective to remove ZANU PF.

Zimbabwe&#8217;s main opposition Citizens&#8217; Coalition for Change (CCC) spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said that the country is under a dictatorship that is worse than during the late former president Robert Mugabe&#8217;s reign.
Addressing a high-profile United Nations Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy 2023 in Switzerland on Tuesday, Mahere Zimbabwe has a governance crisis that can only be resolved through a free and fair election. She said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe suffers under a dictatorship worse than Mugabe. Almost half the population suffers from extreme poverty because those in power would rather loot and persecute than lead.
Only a free, credible election can resolve the governance crisis. Political prisoners must be freed.
</blockquote>
Mahere claimed that half of Zimbabwe&#8217;s population lives in extreme poverty while billions are being looted by the ruling elite. She said:
<blockquote>
Half the population lives in extreme poverty, US$2.2 billion is lost to corruption annually and we have the highest hyperinflation rate in the world – all because those in power would rather loot and persecute than lead.
</blockquote>
Mahere said the conviction of Transform Zimbabwe (TZ) president Jacob Ngarivhume for incitement to public violence is a warning by the ruling elite that participating in opposition politics is punishable. Said Mahere:
<blockquote>
The government’s war against freedom and its weaponisation of the law against myself and other government critics such as Sikhala and Ngarivhume is calculated to send a chilling message to the rest of society – We’re watching you, even on Twitter and this is the punishment you get for participating in opposition politics.
</blockquote>
Ngarivhume was recently sentenced to three years imprisonment, while another prominent opposition figure, Job Sikhala has been kept in pre-trial detention since June 2022 on allegations of incitement to public violence.

Zimbabwe Now Under A Dictatorship Worse Than Mugabe, Says Fadzayi Mahere

Kadoma Mayor Action Nyamukondiwa and three other MDC-T councillors were recalled after being expelled from the opposition party.
Nyamukondiwa, representing Ward 9, and the other councillors representing Wards 3, 4, and 15 had their positions declared vacant in a letter from Minister of Local Government and Public Works July Moyo to Kadoma town clerk Mr Malvern Dondo. He said:
<blockquote>
I wish to inform you that I am in receipt of a letter from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) stating that Councillor Action Nyamukondiwa of Ward 9, Councillor Edson Muzira Ward 4, Councillor Nigel Rozario Ward 15 and Councillor Michael Mvura Ward 3 have been expelled from the party.
In terms of Section 278(1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe as read with Section (1)(k), the above-mentioned wards are now vacant. In terms of Section 121 of the Electoral Act, please proceed to inform the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission of these vacancies.
</blockquote>
The opposition party MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) has been recalling councillors and MPs (Members of Parliament) mainly for their allegiance to the rival Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa.
The recalls started immediately after the Supreme Court had ruled that Chamisa was not the legitimate leader of the MDC. There were internal disagreements and power struggles within the MDC party following the demise of founding leader, Morgan Tsvangirai.
The recalls have led to changes in the political landscape of Zimbabwe, with some seats being left vacant and by-elections being held to fill them.

Four MDC-T Councillors, Including Kadoma Mayor, Recalled

Two Mercedes Benz vehicles belonging to the ZANU PF Youth political commissar Lawrence Mbanje were torched at his home in Dulibadzimu, suspected to be a case of intra-party violence.
The incident occurred shortly after Mbanje posted videos attacking fellow ZANU PF members for allegedly planning unsanctioned re-runs of primary elections, which resulted in one faction losing.
The Beitbridge Municipality Fire Brigade and neighbours helped extinguish the fire.
This happens when Zimbabwe is gearing up for harmonised elections scheduled for August this year.
Zimbabwe has a history of intra-party and interparty political violence that dates back to the colonial era. During the struggle for independence, the ruling party, ZANU PF, and the opposition party, ZAPU, were involved in violent clashes. After independence in 1980, ZANU PF became the dominant political party, and the government used violence to suppress opposition parties and dissenting voices.
In the early 2000s, Zimbabwe experienced a wave of political violence, which was linked to land reform policies. The ruling party seized land from white farmers and redistributed it to black Zimbabweans. This led to clashes between supporters of the ruling party and white farmers.
In 2008, Zimbabwe held a presidential election, which was marred by violence. The opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), accused the ruling party of rigging the election and using violence to intimidate voters. The violence left hundreds of people dead and thousands displaced.
Since then, there have been sporadic outbreaks of political violence in Zimbabwe. In recent years, there have been reports of violence against protesters, activists, and journalists.
Ahead of the by-elections on March 26, 2022, the opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), alleged that ZANU PF was attacking its members across the country.
The government has been criticised for failing to hold perpetrators of political violence accountable. The lack of accountability has created a culture of impunity, which has allowed political violence to continue. The international community has called on the government of Zimbabwe to take action to end political violence and promote democracy and human rights.
Political analysts are afraid that the reports of violence might affect the credibility of this year&#8217;s elections.

ZANU PF Official's Cars Torched In Suspected Intra-party Violence

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said the State and the church are inseparable and the relationship dates back to the days of the struggle for independence from colonial rule.
Mnangagwa made the remarks at the centenary celebrations of ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministries founder, Archbishop Ezekiel Guti held at Glamis Arena in Harare on Sunday. He said:
<blockquote>
The partnership and synergy between the State and Church is inseparable and dates back to the days of our protracted armed liberation struggle.
At cottage 953 in Harare Highfields, ZAOGA was nurtured to ultimately occupy the space that was predominantly a preserve of missionaries from beyond our borders.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa assured the church that under his Government, freedom of worship is guaranteed. He said:
<blockquote>
I want to assure the Church fraternity that under the Second Republic, freedom of worship is constitutionally guaranteed.
My Government will further facilitate an enabling environment for the Church to carry out the great commission and to win souls, heal the sick and proclaim the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Equally orphans, widows, the disabled and the elderly must be taken care of.
Together, as the State and Church, let us also nurture a citizenry, especially the youth, who are patriotic, disciplined, morally upright and loyal to our country Zimbabwe.
It is commendable, that to date, the Church fraternity has remained a beacon of Ubuntu/Hunhu as well as accelerating social development.
Specifically, your ZAOGA churches, educational institutions and Bible schools are churning out graduates who are ably serving in our national institutions, across Government and in the private sector.
</blockquote>
ZAOGA-FIF runs the Mbuya Dorcas Hospital, Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University, Ezekiel Television, and has Dress Making Training Centres as well as primary and secondary schools. Said Mnangagwa:
<blockquote>
These and other life-transforming projects you have undertaken as a Church are praiseworthy.
Accordingly, in 2021 my Government saw it befitting to honour and confer with Archbishop Baba Guti, with the Order of the Star of Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Archbishop Guti’s wife, Euna, expressed gratitude to Mnangagwa for attending the celebrations.

Lilian Temveos Appointed To Citizens Against Economic Sanctions Executive Council

The family of Dr January Rachilumela Makakavhule-Moyo, a Liberation War Hero who died in 2013, has requested that his remains be dug up from the Provincial Heroes’ Acre in Beitbridge and reburied at his home village.
Dr Makakavhule-Moyo was declared a Liberation War Hero after his death and was buried at the local district heroes&#8217; acre in Makakavhule village. In the notice, Beitbridge Registrar said:
<blockquote>
The Registrar’s office in its minutes dated 27/07/22, reference B10/GDA/PR/15/22 has authorised the registration of exhumation and re-burial of Dr January R Moyo’s remains from the Provincial Heroes Acre in Beitbridge to his home on request from the family.
Any person or entity with objections to the above may lodge in writing to the registrar (Beitbridge) within 30 days of publication of this notice.
</blockquote>
Dr Makakavhule-Moyo&#8217;s Mini Profile:
He was born on January 1, 1939. 
He trained as a teacher in 1962 following a two-year stint as a temporary teacher.
Dr Makakavhule-Moyo taught at various schools in Beitbridge District for about 57 years until he retired from the profession in 2004 and ventured into the farming business.
Dr Makakavhule-Moyo was a political activist from the early 1960s until independence in 1980. He contributed to the liberation struggle by sourcing and supplying resources for the freedom fighters. During the height of the liberation struggle, he was at one time ambushed and shot by the then-Rhodesian armed forces as he was carrying supplies for freedom fighters. As a result, Dr Makakavhule-Moyo sustained injuries on both legs. He was taken to Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo where he was detained under police guard while being interrogated and tortured by the brutal Rhodesian security agents, who were denying him access to treatment.
Between 1985 and 2008, Dr Makakavhule-Moyo was a councillor in Beitbridge Rural District Council during which he also chaired a sub-committee on finance and tender before he was elected vice-chairperson for the local authority.
After independence, Dr Makakavhule-Moyo served ZANU PF in various structures both at district and provincial levels.

Family Wants Late Liberation War Hero Remains Reburied

All 21 African members of the Commonwealth support Zimbabwe&#8217;s return. Zimbabwe left the group in 2003 due to concerns over rights abuses.
President Mnangagwa sought re-admission in 2017, but the process has been slow over alleged human rights abuses in the southern African country.
The Commonwealth is finalising its report on Zimbabwe&#8217;s re-admission, and Baroness Scotland told Mnangagwa that continued repression in Harare was not helpful.
Addressing a post-Cabinet media briefing Tuesday, information minister Senator Monica Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
Baroness Scotland reported that the Secretariat was finalising the Report on Zimbabwe before submission to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting Chairperson, His Excellency President Paul Kagame.
</blockquote>
She also said the UK is keen to continue strengthening relations with Zimbabwe. She said:
<blockquote>
In line with the Second Republic’s re-engagement and engagement thrust (President Mnangagwa) met with the United Kingdom Minister of State for Development and Africa, the Right Honourable Andrew Mitchell.
The President noted the progress that has been made in strengthening bilateral relations between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom as evidenced by the increase in exchange visits, and renewed interest in promoting trade, investment and tourism opportunities across Zimbabwe’s major economic sectors.
The Right Honourable Mitchell highlighted his interest in mending Zimbabwe/UK relations and elevating these to a higher level.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe and the UK have had a complex relationship due to historical and political reasons. Relations deteriorated in the early 2000s due to disagreements over Zimbabwe&#8217;s land reform program and human rights abuses.
Since 2017, Zimbabwe has been pursuing a re-engagement policy with the West, including the UK, and both countries have expressed a desire to strengthen ties. However, concerns over human rights abuses and the pace of reforms remain.

21 African Countries Support Zimbabwe's Return To Commonwealth After 2003 Exit

South Africans want Britain to return the Star of Africa diamond, weighing 530 carats, set in the royal sceptre for King Charles III&#8217;s coronation on Saturday.
The diamond was discovered in South Africa in 1905 and presented to the British monarchy by the colonial government when the country was under British rule. Calls for the diamond&#8217;s return are part of a global conversation about returning colonial-era artwork and artefacts.

<ul>
<li><a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/01/27/london-based-company-seeks-to-retrieve-129k-diamond-carats-held-by-rbz/">London-based Company Seeks To Retrieve 129k Diamond Carats Held By RBZ</a></li>
</ul>
Mothusi Kamanga, a Johannesburg lawyer and activist, is promoting an online petition that has gathered approximately 8,000 signatures, calling for the return of the diamond. He said:
<blockquote>
The diamond needs to come to South Africa. It needs to be a sign of our pride, our heritage and our culture.
I think generally the African people are starting to realise that to decolonise is not just to let people have certain freedoms, but it’s also to take back what has been expropriated from us.
</blockquote>
The diamond officially called Cullinan I, and is in the royal sceptre, was cut from the Cullinan diamond, a 3100-carat stone mined near Pretoria. The Imperial State Crown also contains a smaller diamond, Cullinan II. All crown jewels, including the sceptre and the Imperial State Crown, are kept in the Tower of London. A replica of the Cullinan diamond is displayed at the Cape Town Diamond Museum.
Johannesburg resident Mohamed Abdulahi believes the diamond should be returned because it was taken during a time of oppression. Others, like Dieketseng Nzhadzhaba, don&#8217;t feel strongly about it and believe times have changed, making the issue irrelevant.
The value of a diamond depends on many factors, including its carat weight, cut, colour, and clarity. However, the 530-carat diamond known as the Star of Africa is considered priceless due to its historical significance and rarity. It is one of the largest and most famous diamonds in the world and has been estimated to be worth billions of dollars.

The UK government sent a letter to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Zimbabwe (APPGZ) defending <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/03/19/mnangagwa-invited-to-attend-king-charles-iii-coronation/">the invitation</a> of President Emmerson Mnangagwa to attend King Charles III&#8217;s coronation this Saturday, despite <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/04/25/british-mps-advocate-cancellation-of-mnangagwas-invitation-to-king-charles-iiis-coronation/">objections from some MPs</a> who cited allegations of <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">human rights abuses</a> in the <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">southern African country</a>.
In a letter seen by Pindula News, Andrew Mitchell (MP) the Minister for Development and Africa said they invited Mnangagwa to raise &#8220;concerns over human rights and the need for political reform.&#8221; Reads the letter:
<blockquote>
Thank you for your letter of 24 April to the Foreign Secretary, on behalf of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Zimbabwe about President Mnangagwa&#8217;s invitation to the King&#8217;s Coronation and the human rights situation in Zimbabwe. I am replying as the Minister for Development and Africa.
President Mnangagwa was invited to the King&#8217;s Coronation through a process agreed between the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Royal Household. We regularly raise our concerns over human rights and the need for political reform in all official interactions with President Mnangagwa and his Ministers. Our conversations in the margins of the Coronation will allow us to do the same.
I share your concerns at the human rights situation in Zimbabwe. As a Human Rights Priority country, we continue to monitor and raise human rights in Zimbabwe and engage at senior levels, both publicly and privately. The UK wants to see Zimbabwe move along a pathway to being more peaceful, prosperous and democratic. Whilst we have welcomed some areas of progress in recent years, human rights and corruption remain areas of concern. We would like to see the Government of Zimbabwe meet its international and domestic obligations by respecting the rule of law, safeguarding human rights, and delivering genuine political and economic reform for all.
Ahead of general elections due later this year, the UK is supporting calls for all political parties in Zimbabwe to refrain from violence and intimidation, and to adopt measured language which will support peaceful campaigning. We are encouraging the Government of Zimbabwe to allow space for political opposition, media and civil society organisations to operate freely. As our Ambassador to Harare publicly stated on 2 October 2023, the UK is committed to the fundamental rights of peaceful assembly, association and due process enshrined in Zimbabwe&#8217;s constitution. We will continue to call for all incidents to be investigated.
Our Embassy in Harare continues to monitor the ongoing detention of Job Sikhala MP, including through direct observation of court hearings, and are aware of the conviction of opposition spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere. We remain concerned by the failure to address allegations of abduction and abuse of three opposition members Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri, and Netsai Marova. We have raised our concerns with the Government (most recently in meetings with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice in mid-April) and publicly called for an investigation into the allegations.
The UK will continue to balance engagement on human rights and corruption with a commitment to stand by Zimbabwe&#8217;s most vulnerable people, pursue shared interests and maintain a constructive dialogue.
Rt Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP 
Minister for Development and Africa
