The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has urged the government to criminalise abductions and enforced disappearances in accordance with the country’s constitution. On the occasion of the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the human rights organization emphasized the need for the government to ratify the United Nations International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. ZHLR said:
<blockquote>
While in Section 53, the Constitution expressly outlaws torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the lack of legislation that criminalises abduction and enforced disappearances has created a gap in domestic law and fuelled impunity.
</blockquote>
ZHLR said the recent surge in reported cases of enforced disappearances, particularly targeting government critics, highlights the urgency for Zimbabwean authorities to establish a legal framework that prevents such grave human rights violations and ensures justice and redress for victims and their families. ZLHR also called upon both state and non-state actors to take effective measures in preventing enforced disappearances and holding the responsible parties accountable.
Several government critics, including opposition members and human rights defenders, have made claims of being abducted by suspected state security agents. Some notable cases include Itai Dzamara, a well-known activist advocating for political change, he was abducted in 2015 and has not been seen since.
Another one is Jestina Mukoko, a human rights activist and journalist. She was abducted in 2008 and held incommunicado for several weeks before being charged with plotting to overthrow the government. Tawanda Muchehiwa, a journalism student, was abducted in 2020 and allegedly tortured by suspected state security agents. Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri, and Netsai Marova claimed that they were abducted by suspected state security agents in 2020 after participating in a protest and reportedly subjected to torture and sexual assault.
The government denies these allegations, claiming they are staged to tarnish its image. Authorities often attribute the abductions to a “third force” aiming to discredit the government. Some analysts argue that these abductions are intended to instil fear among government critics who expose human rights violations and mismanagement by the government.

ZLHR Urges Zimbabwe To Criminalise Abductions And Enforced Disappearances

Joanna Mamombe, a lawmaker for the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), and party activist Cecilia Chimbiri have been acquitted by the High Court in a case where they were accused of publishing falsehoods.
The women were charged following a 2020 incident where they claimed to have been abducted and tortured by suspected state agents. The activists were arrested at a police roadblock after staging a flash anti-government demonstration in Warren Park, Harare. Mamombe and Chimbiri, together with Netsai Marova who has since fled the country, were put in police custody at Harare Central Police Station. However, they were later discovered injured and soiled in Bindura, 70km outside Harare, after their friends and party raised an alarm about their disappearance.
The state accused them of lying about their abduction to harm the government’s reputation, arguing that CCTV footage showed them in Belgravia during the time they claimed to have been abducted. Authorities, however, did not explain how the trio escaped from police custody.
In court, Joanna Mamombe and Cecilia Chimbiri’s lawyer, Alec Muchadehama, accused the State of punishing his clients due to the hype their case received on social media. The women were acquitted after appealing against magistrate Vongai Guuriro Muchuchuti’s ruling that they had a case to answer and should proceed to a defence hearing.
In delivering the ruling, High Court judge Justice Priscilla Munangati Manongwa said the lower court had erred in failing to discharge the women at the close of the State’s case. The judge criticised the State’s case, saying it was marred with malice and falsehoods. The judge also highlighted that it was unconstitutional and against the principles of the court to push the applicants into a defence case to supplement the inadequacies of the State’s case and hope that in the process they incriminate themselves. The judge ordered the women’s discharge at the close of the State’s case.
The judge ruled that the State’s case was marred with malice and falsehoods and that the women should be found not guilty and acquitted at the close of the State case.

Fake Abduction Case: Mamombe And Chimbiri Acquitted

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Joana_Mamombe">Joana Mamombe,</a> Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)’s Member of Parliament for Harare West has said the ruling ZANU PF won’t act on Gold Mafia – individuals who are allegedly smuggling gold and laundering money in Zimbabwe.
Her remarks came after the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Senator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a>, said individuals mentioned in the Al Jazeera documentary <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/gold-mafia-government-to-punish-criminals/">would be punished</a> if they are convicted of corruption and criminal activities. The minister said:
<blockquote>
Any person found to have engaged in acts of corruption, fraud or any form of crime, will face the full wrath of the law.
Government takes this opportunity to re-affirm its commitment to upholding local and international laws, including laws relating to financial transactions, the trade of gold and other precious minerals.
Boastful behaviour and name-dropping by some personalities featured in the documentary, seeking personal gain and glory, should never be taken as an enunciation of Government Policy.
</blockquote>
In a response seen by Pindula News, Mamombe said ZANU PF won’t act on the gold mafia, as usual. She said:
<blockquote>
From time immemorial ZANU PF has mastered the art of issuing statement after statement without ACTION being done. Expecting them to act on this, is expecting Satan to cast demons out of believers. Citizens let’s act by voting out these incorrigible corrupt people.
</blockquote>
Some of the individuals who are allegedly involved in gold smuggling gold and laundering money include:
1). <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Uebert Angel</a>, born <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Hubert Mudzanire</a>, is a British-Zimbabwean religious leader and a business person well known for being the founder and leader of Spirit Embassy, The Good News Church. He is the Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large for Europe and the Americas. Angel is being accused of engaging criminals with dirty money which is then sent to Zimbabwe for cleaning. 
2). <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Henrietta_Rushwaya">Henrietta Rushwaya</a>, is a Zimbabwean politician, football administrator and former CEO of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Football_Association" title="Zimbabwe Football Association">Zimbabwe Football Association</a> (ZIFA).

She is allegedly the one responsible for cleaning the dirty money. She allegedly buys gold for the money launderers who then sell it and get clean money. In October 2020, Rushwaya was arrested at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Robert_Mugabe_International_Airport" title="Robert Mugabe International Airport">Robert Mugabe International Airport</a> after attempting to smuggle 6kg of gold out of Zimbabwe to Dubai.
3). <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Simon_Rudland">Simon Rudland:</a> He is a <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwean" title="Zimbabwean">Zimbabwean</a> businessman with interests in logistics, agriculture and finance.

Rudland is accused of smuggling his cigarettes to South Africa to evade tax. He allegedly uses the money to buy gold in Zimbabwe on behalf of the “broke” Fidelity Printers and Refiners. 
4). Ewan Macmillan – Zimbabwean gold dealer and businessman Ewan MacMillan is no stranger to the news headlines, with former dodgy gold dealings returning to haunt him and recent money laundering claims swirling around him. But, he has recently been implicated in an even bigger scandal, claiming he has high-profile political business partners. In the documentary, he said: I have been doing gold since I was 19. I went to jail for the first time for gold when I was 21, so that would be in 1991. I went to do a lot of prison in the 90s.’ He said, ‘And you will not believe this, my partner is the president. I did 60 days in prison, and my partner is the new president.’
5). Rikki Doolan: he is a British Christian preacher. He claims that President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> enables gold smuggling operations in Zimbabwe by offering protection to “the Gold Mafia.” In Episode 2 of Gold Mafia, Rikki Doolan who is portrayed as a money launderer, says all money laundering deals are done with the president’s blessing. 
6). Lamkesh Pattni: he is a Kenyan businessman and pastor. He was implicated in the 1990s Goldenberg scandal but was acquitted in 2013. He is being caused of siphoning cash from Zimbabwe in connivance with ZIMRA officials instead of bringing it from gold and jewellery proceeds. 
The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Anti-Corruption_Commission">Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission</a>, established in 2019, says it is monitoring the case.
Corruption is a big problem in Zimbabwe, where some people engage in illegal activities and in some cases political leaders are allegedly protecting these corrupt individuals to maintain the status quo, leading to a culture of impunity.

In a  video circulating on social media, two unidentified men are seen beating an elderly woman with sticks. 
Speaking in Ndebele, the assailants suggest that the woman accused them of being thieves. 
Responding to the video, Mamombe said:
<blockquote>
I am appalled by such savagery, @PoliceZimbabwe please act. What kind of society are we becoming, a society that thrives on violence and abuse of women? This is unacceptable, these senseless people must be arrested.

In January 2023 she engaged the services of the two to come and cleanse her home following the death of her husband. The two did some rituals and charged her five beasts. She gave them the five beasts, second-hand clothes 7 metal roofing sheets, one wheelbarrow and one plank. They claim she later reneged on her promise.

According to Ndebele, the woman is 65 years old. ​

High Court Halts Trial Proceedings In Chimbiri, Mamombe Abduction Case

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Makomborero_Haruzivishe">Makomborero Haruzivishe</a> who is wanted by the police was spotted outside Zimbabwe.
Haruzivishe is one of the five CCC members who disappeared during their trial on charges of staging “an illegal demonstration” in Warren Park, Harare, in May 2020, the State has said.
Prosecutor Miss Police Muzamani told the court on Friday that the police now have a lead on where Makomborero Haruzivishe might be after he disappeared during the trial of the five. 
Haruzivishe is on the run and has been issued a warrant of arrest.
Meanwhile, fellow CCC member, Womberaiishe Nhende, Thursday posted a picture of himself, Haruzivishe and some other people suggesting that Haruzivishe had skipped the country’s border. He captioned it:
<blockquote>
A very huge welcome for my brother Makomborero Haruzivishe

His co-accused are <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Joana_Mamombe">Joana Mamombe</a>, Stanley Manyenga, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Cecilia_Chimbiri">Cecilia Chimbiri</a> and Lovejoy Chitengu. 
They appeared in court yesterday charged with participating in a gathering with intent to commit public violence or violating COVID-19 lockdown regulations. 
They denied the charges arguing that the charges they were facing were based on repealed law and they could not thus be prosecuted.
Mamombe and her co-accused argued that participating in a gathering was not an offence. They say holding placards did not constitute an offence and the State failed to pinpoint who was holding the placards.
Miss Muzamani sought a postponement to October 19 to allow police to track down Haruzivishe and this was granted. 
Haruzivishe was early this year from pre-trial detention where he had spent nearly 10 months. The 29-year-old was released on ZWL$20 000 bail.
He has been facing a number of charges including inciting public violence and kidnapping.
He denies violating any law, and his party says “these are trumped-up charges” must be viewed as the government’s attempt to crack down on dissent.

Wanted Makomborero Haruzivishe Spotted Outside Zimbabwe

Women’s organisations have issued a joint statement condemning the continued arrest and detention of MDC Alliance MP Joanna Mamombe.
The statement was issued jointly by the Women’s Academy for Leadership and Political Excellence (WALPE), Sprout Women Empowerment Trust, Rural Young Women Support Network, Kundai Rutendo Trust, and Conscious Development and Empowerment Trust (CODET) among others. It read:
<blockquote>We the undersigned women’s rights organizations and women-led community-based organizations (CBOs) are concerned and deeply worried about the recent harassment of Harare West Member of Parliament (MP) Honourable Joana Mamombe by prison officials.
A video recording of the brazen inhumane treatment of Hon. Mamombe has since gone viral across social media platforms.
In the video, a visibly sick and in pain Hon. Mamombe is shedding tears pleading with prison officials not to move her back to the notorious Chikurubi Prison before she has fully healed.
“I am in pain, I am in great pain…don’t move me” pleads a tearful Mamombe to prison officials. “We have instructions from higher up to take you” is the cold response from a prison official.
The group of prison guards proceed to manhandle Hon. Mamombe and bundle her into a prison truck and take her to prison.
This callous act is carried out in broad daylight in front of cameras without shame or restraint.
Hon. Mamombe has been in remand prison since 5 March 2021 when she was arrested alongside her colleague Cecilia Chimbiri and charged with violating COVID-19 restrictions.
The flimsy charge arose after Hon. Mamombe and her colleagues had addressed a press conference at Harare Magistrate’s Court after the conviction of fellow activist Makomborero Haruzivishe.
It is shocking that the police arrested and charged Hon. Mamombe and Cecilia Chimbiri given that the duo was well within their rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Zimbabwe and international conventions for which Zimbabwe is a state party to.
Furthermore, no court proceedings were affected by the press conference and Hon. Mamombe and her colleagues all observed the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines of social distancing and wearing face masks.
As WALPE we hold that the charges show that the government of Zimbabwe is weaponising COVID-19 to close democratic space.
It also disturbing that Hon. Mamombe was arrested and denied bail during the women’s month of March.
In addition, it is apparent that Hon. Mamombe has been deliberately and vindictively targeted since her abduction and torture in May 2020.
All these brutal acts of repression further close the space for women to effectively and fully participate in politics.
As women’s rights organizations, we thus call on the government of Zimbabwe to unconditionally and immediately release Hon. Mamombe and all other political prisoners.
For Hon. Mamombe, her release is urgent given her deteriorating health condition which requires specialist attention.
We also call on the region and international community to raise their voice on the illegal detention of Hon. Mamombe and other political prisoners.</blockquote>

FULL TEXT: Women's Organisations Condemn The Harassment Of Joana Mamombe

There was drama as MDC Alliance legislator for Harare West, Joana Mamombe refused to leave the hospital where she was admitted to return to prison.
Mamombe had been taken to the hospital after she had fallen ill in prison. When prison officers came to the hospital to take her back to prison, she was adamant that she was not going anywhere since she was still in pain.
Reports suggest that the prison officers stormed Mambombe’s hospital bed and forcibly removed her before she had completed medical treatment prescribed by her doctors and without following the hospital’s discharge protocols!

WATCH: Hospitalised Joana Mamombe Refusing To Return To Prison

MDC Alliance’s legislator for Harare West, Joana Mamombe has sued the government and the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) for damaging her dignity after her pictures taken as evidence in a criminal investigation were circulated on social media.
The pictures were taken last year when Mamombe and her colleagues, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova were admitted at Parktown hospital after they had been allegedly abducted, sexually violated, and tortured by suspected state agents.
Chief superintendent Phillip reportedly took photos of Mamombe on May 15 purportedly as part of gathering evidence, telling Mamombe to “remove clothing to expose the various sections of the body so she would capture them.”
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/pictures-mamombe-chimbiri-and-marova-hospitalised/">The pictures later made rounds on social media</a> and Mamombe through her lawyers, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), claims that leaking of the pictures by one of the defendants, chief superintendent Phillip, had a damaging effect on her dignity. Mamombe’s lawyers argued:
<blockquote>As a direct consequence of the sensitive photographs being unlawfully circulated on various social media platforms, the plaintiff’s dignity was impaired.
The circulation of the plaintiff’s sensitive photographs was made without reasonable grounds and therefore negligent, malicious and unlawful.</blockquote>
Mamombe is demanding ZW$10 million from the Zimbabwean government and the Zimbabwe Republic Police.

MDCA's Mamombe Sues Govt For Damaging Her Dignity

ZANU PF legislator for Mberengwa North, Tafanana Zhou on Thursday proposed to the National Assembly that Joana Mamombe of MDC Alliance be recalled from Parliament on health grounds.
His recommendation came after Mamombe’s doctors had claimed that the Harare West legislator had mental disorders, a condition that was confirmed by two government doctors. Zhou said:
<blockquote>Mr. Speaker Sir. My point of privilege arises from our national Constitution, Section 129 (1) (m) that states that, ‘The seat of a Member of Parliament becomes vacant if the Member is certified to be mentally disordered or intellectually handicapped under any law in force in Zimbabwe’…Honourable Joanna Mamombe was certified as mentally ill by two government doctors.
I therefore honourable Speaker Sir, ask that a Privileges Committee be set to look into the matter.</blockquote>
The Speaker of Parliament Advocate Jacob Mudenda responded saying it was significant to first attain an official response from the judiciary and the doctor’s reports accordingly and compare with Mamombe’s party. He added:
<blockquote>However, because the matter is still with our courts and the courts have not pronounced themselves as to the results of the medical findings, we shall have to be cautious in proceeding accordingly until such time that the matter has been fully ventilated by the courts.</blockquote>
MudendaMamombe’s health condition was made public after her legal counsel had told the court that she was not fit to stand trial in a case she is co-accused with fellow party colleagues, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova of staging their abduction in May this year.
The state was sceptical of the report by Mamombe’s doctors that it recommended that two government doctors examine her and they confirmed the result that had been initially issued.

ZANU PF Pushes For Mamombe's Ejection From Parly

MDC Alliance legislator for Harare West, Joana Mamombe was declared mentally unstable by government doctors who examined her to verify earlier reports by her private doctors.
Mamombe’s health condition was made public when her lawyers argued that she was not fit to stand trial in a case she is being accused together with Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova of staging their abduction in May this year.
When she appeared at the Harare Magistrates court this Friday for determination on whether she is fit to stand trial or not, the presiding Magistrate ruled that Mamombe is not fit to stand trial.
The presiding Magistrate also ruled that she should be treated at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals at Annexe section for at least 2 weeks.
The <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/09/24/ruling-on-mamombes-mental-exam-case-today/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">state thought Mamombe and her legal counsel were faking her illness as a way to abscond court</a>.
Meanwhile, Mamombe’s defence council has applied for a relaxation of her bail conditions.

Govt Doctors Confirm Mamombe's Mental Illness

MDC Alliance MP Joanna Mamombe was today taken into custody where she will be examined by 2 government doctors to determine her fitness to stand trial after her lawyers said she is unwell to stand trial. Today a Harare Magistrate Mrs Bianca Makwande ordered Mamombe’s examination by two neutral doctors to be conducted while she is in the care of Harare Remand Prison authorities.
Mamombe was abducted in May and was arrested for faking an abduction thereafter. ZBC published a documentary that alleged that Mamombe and Netsai Marowa and Cecilia Chepiri faked their abductions. Her trial at Harare Magistrate started but her lawyers are saying she is unwell to stand trial. The state is claiming that Mamombe is not sick and they applied for her to be examined by 2 government doctors.
The video below shows Joana leaving the court for jail.

WATCH: Joana Mamombe Goes To Jail

On Thursday, Harare magistrate Ngoni Nduna issued an arrest warrant for Joana Mamombe after the State claimed the Harare West MP had failed to turn up for court.
The warrant was, however, cancelled after her lawyer Jeremiah Bamu argued that Mamombe was not supposed to appear in court on the day. Bamu argued:
<blockquote>There is confusion as to which matter because the warrant was issued on the charges of publishing falsehoods prejudicial to the State, a case which was postponed to 26 August last week.
The matter was initially set for today (Thursday), then State issued summons for them to appear on 31 July. Obey Shava (lawyer) appeared with them on 31 July and had the matter postponed to 26 September.
The State issued summons again and we came back to court on August 4 and the date was corrected from 26 September to 26 August.</blockquote>
On July 31, Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri, Netsai Marova and their lawyer, Shava were arrested while coming from court and proceeding to Harare Central Police Station to report as required by their bail conditions. No charges were brought against them.
The legislator has several cases pending before the courts including last year’s treason case and contravention of Covid-19 regulations case.

Magistrate Wrongfully Issue Warrant Of Arrest For MDC Alliance's Mamombe

Exiled politician Jonathan Moyo has said Minister Of State Security Owen Mudha Ncube is responsible for the abduction and torture of MDC activists. Moyo was writing on Twitter when he said:
<blockquote>This is the dirty work of Owen Mudha Ncube, Mnangagwa’s longtime hitman and now his CIO minister. Information Secretary Nick Mangwanaclaims Mudha’s abduction and violence against Joana Mamombe and two MDC-A youth activists are fake. What? Fake violence? No such thing!</blockquote>
Moyo went on to say President Mnangagwa, and Owen Ncube must be held accountable by the international law:
<blockquote>The time has come for Owen Mudha Ncube and his embattled boss Emmerson Mnangagwa to be held accountable under international law for sanctioning the use of torture and rape as political weapons!</blockquote>
Moyo was referring to the abduction of 3 MDC activists who were abducted during a protest in Warren park on Wednesday and were found in Bindura badly beaten and tortured.

Owen Mudha Ncube Is Behind MDC Alliance Activists' Abduction - Jonathan Moyo

ZRP has dismissed social media reports claiming that they have MDC members in custody. This was revealed by ZRP National Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi who said they had not arrested anyone in connection with the demo neither were the people who were rumoured to be in their custody actually in custody.
In a statement Assitant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said:
<blockquote>The Zimbabwe Republic Police dismisses all social media reports insinuating that the police have detained or has custody of some MDC Alliance members. Some MDC Alliance members including Johanna Mamombe, Obey Sithole, Ostallous Siziba, Stanley Manyenga and Justin Chidziva were involved in an illegal flash demonstration in Warren Park, Harare on 13th May 2020.</blockquote>
This was after social media circulated stories that MDC who participated in a demo in Warren Park on Wednesday were in police custody.

WATCH: Joana Mamombe Tearfully Narrates Their Abduction Ordeal

The 3 MDC activists who were abducted on Wednesday and were found near Bindura today tortured and badly beaten were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment including sexual assault, ZimLive reports. This was reportedly revealed by MDC president Nelson Chamisa who said this to the publication:
<blockquote>This is inhuman and degrading treatment. This is torture against girl children, torture against the country. Assuming that they had committed a crime, they were supposed to be taken to a police station, tried and sentenced. But this is a continuation of an ugly past.
You won’t believe it. They are shaking. They are so scared when you open the door, they feel like running away. Cecilia said she can identify one of the suspected state agents who used a gun through their a_nnal passage. It is unheard-of.</blockquote>
Joana Mamombe and her colleagues are currently hospitalised, videos and photos of them brutally beaten and groaning in pain are circulating on different social media platforms. The government has not said anything about the abductions as yet.

In an interview with HMetro, aspiring Harare West MDC-T candidate Joana Mamombe denied being Nelson Chamisa’s lover describing such allegations as malicious.
She also said her decision to stand the Harare West seat against incumbent MP Jessie Majome was not engineered by anyone in the top MDC-T hierarchy. Said Mamombe:
<blockquote>Those that are saying I am a side chick of (Nelson) Chamisa are being malicious (laughs). People will always bring things up. I cannot make people like me. Right now there is no need for me to speak of my marital status because that has nothing to do with my aspirations. Leadership has nothing to do with marital status.</blockquote>
