Public Abuse of Mary Chiwenga

I am appalled by the public humiliation of Mary Chiwenga over a domestic matter. The allegations begun in 2019 after there was a rumour, she was divorcing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. She was arrested on charges of money laundering, disconnecting medical equipment attached to Vice President, fraud and violating exchange control regulations charges she denied. She was a scapegoat to Emmerson Mnangagwa pledge to eradicate corruption.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/16/zimbabwe-vp-wife-charged-trying-to-kill-husband-chiwenga

Mary was further arrested in 2020 over alleged assault of family maid, Delight Munyoro following an altercation over children's custody at Hellenics School in Borrowdale. She was barred from accessing her children. Mary Chiwenga won her High Court appeal for custody of the couple's three minors and access to their matrimonial home, but VP Chiwenga filed a notice of appeal at the Supreme Court so that his case can be dealt with urgency.

Mary was dragged to court in 2020 on a stretcher bed. She had her passport surrendered to the courts denying her access to medical equipment while the Vice President flies private jet abroad for check-ups. Mary’s arm bore lesions and were severely swollen, could barely raise her head.

Mary made a heartfelt address stating how the Vice President had hired hitman and that he is after her blood in court. She appealed to the public for assistance stating among reasons she was being denied access to her children and being denied access to her bank accounts. She stated how she was tormented and harassed by people continuously following her, her cars bugged, her parents being followed and anyone assisting her was beaten up. She accused the Vice President of using opioids and Vice Health Minister making them unfit for office.

Mary was further remanded in prison without trial in 2021 as it took more that 15 months for the state to close its matter. Mary was arrested before a full investigation had been completed. The case highlights how judiciary and executive are inter-twined there by absents of rule of law. Mary was denied access to health care a basic human right. Mubaiwa is worried with her bail conditions to surrender her passport which have resulted in her failing to travel to South Africa. She needs urgent treatment after she was diagnosed with severe lymphoedema which has caused gross swelling of both hands and feet” and “large open wounds on both arms with some degree of granulation.

Lazini Ncube at the Harare Magistrate court detained Mary for 10 days awaiting medical examinations by two medical doctors. The High suspended the decision calling it, capricious” and “arbitrary”. This just shows the conflict of interest between the rule of law and Executive influenced decisions.

 I am upset how this has been accepted as normal and gone unchallenged. The Zimbabwean feminists have been quite about it and failed to stand up for Mary. Linda Masarira leader of the Lead opposition party had the audacity to come out in public saying Mary Chiwenga deserved what she got. The lack of empathy and compassion is worrying as a woman. If Mary has done wrong, she deserves to be dealt with in court without the influence of the Vice President as a weapon to make her suffer.

Gender equality in Zimbabwe

Pubished in The Star Early Edition 27 Oct 2021
 

ZIMBABWEAN women’s lives matter. They have the ability to achieve similar goals to men.

I wonder why the Zimbabwean government encourages discrimination towards women, such as in land distribution and ownership, equality or professional recognition and sexual bribery, in Parliament and in the local authorities.

It is sad that the Electoral Act does not include mechanisms to ensure that women are equally represented in the 1,958 wards and also make constitutional provisions for 50/50 representation in parliament and in the local authorities, where they have only 978 seats. 

President Emmerson Mnangagwa should open his eyes and see that increasing women’s visibility in politics is beneficial for democratic participation and lowers level of corruption, which restore faith in government and improves government performance.

If he is unable to implement positive changes, then he should hand over to a capable candidate.

BEVERLEY TSITSI MUTANDIRO | Human Rights Activist

Zimbabwe should empower women in politics to lead and govern

The Star Late Edition 15 Nov 2021

WOMEN in politics have shown greater abilities and strength to govern and to lead.

Angela Merkel of Germany, Jacinda Ardern and Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu Hassan are examples of female politicians who are discharging their duties with excellence and success.

It’s frustrating that in Zimbabwe most people have negative attitudes toward women who are politicians particularly the Zimbabwean government.

Women in politics are often treated unfairly and the current government is unwilling to change so that women can join politics without thinking much about the negative sentiments.

Zimbabwean women remain under-represented in leadership roles even though they have demonstrated strong leadership, particularly Fadzayi Mahere, who is the spokesperson for the opposition political party MDC Alliance.

The barriers for women in Zimbabwe to enter the political fields include political party policies, media bias and lack of appreciation that women play crucial roles in Zimbabwean society.

Some women who are from the opposition and activists are harassed, ill-treated and demeaned, which discourages other women to join politics.

The Zanu-PF government has failed to empower women into politics and therefore all women in Zimbabwe should seriously vote out President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2023.

Zimbabwean prisoners affiliated to MDC Alliance persecuted daily

 As Published in Cape Argus 29 Sep 2021

I AM totally heartbroken and sorrowful of the continued human rights violations in Zimbabwe that are inflicted on anyone who has a different opinion or assumed to be singing different words from the ruling party Zanu-PF led by the clueless, careless and corrupt president Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The pro-democracy campaigner and MDC Alliance youth leader Makomborero Haruzivishe has pleaded his innocence of been convicted of inciting public violence by whistling.

He is considered a top criminal hence is being monitored in a maximum-security prison where he is now being strangled (choked) at night by inmates suspected to be the government agents of persecutions.

The Zimbabwe prison system has failed to adhere to its mission statement which include to ensure safety to the prisoners, their constitutional provisions and rights.

There are many prisoners who died in the prisons and no proper investigations were done or efforts to prevent the loss of lives in Zimbabwean prisons.

The world, particularly countries that host massive numbers of Zimbabwean migrants such as South

Africa, Canada, New Zealand, UK and Australia should raise their concerns over the ill-treatments of prisoners affiliated to MDC Alliance party and in this instance of Haruzivishe.

If these countries remain silent about the grave human rights issues in Zimbabwe, they will continue to receive an unprecedented flow of migrants from Zimbabwe.

The world should pile pressure on president Mnangagwa to stop persecuting Makomborero Haruzivishe and other citizens.

ED FAILED COP26 SUMMIT VISIT

ED Mnangagwa was invited for COP26 visit but did not fully comprehend the purpose of the meeting and faced world-wide resentment due to his gross human rights violations against the people of Zimbabwe. 

Zanu PF UK "Booze Cruise"

It was hypocrisy to address world leaders on climate change when he flew in a private jet. ED’s delegation comprised church leaders and opportunists who had no business there. The President of Zambia Hichilema flew economy with a delegation of two people playing his part in saving the planet.  ED also feared the Air Zimbabwe plane would have been confiscated by debt collectors on arrival. 

https://www.zimlive.com/2021/11/01/amid-booze-fuelled-welcome-mnangagwa-thumps-chest-at-rare-uk-visit/
 

The Summit was a flop as he addressed an empty hall as nobody was interested in listening to what he had to say. ED did not receive any financial grants to use renewable energy like other African countries. The only fruitful meeting he had with the EU delegation was affirmation that availability of support to Zimbabwe was subject to reforms on human rights violations. Ed was confined to his hotel room and summit parameters despite it being his first visit to Europe in over 25 years and is on individual targeted sanctions.  

https://www.newsday.co.zw/2021/11/empty-chairs-as-ed-addresses-cop26/

Scotland demonstration was very peaceful as we were protected by huge friendly Police presence. The demonstration received massive coverage on social media, television and local newspapers. We alerted the whole world about the human rights violations, abductions and torture under ED Mnangagwa leadership. 

ED Mnangagwa has failed to provide necessities, like clean water and sanitation services for the people of Zimbabwe thereby has no contribution at the Climate Change Summit. You must pick up the litter first before you discuss recycling and the Capital City if filthy with piles of rubbish everywhere and running sewage in the streets. 

https://globalpressjournal.com/africa/zimbabwe/local-government-services-crumble-amid-economic-woes-pandemic/

The Government tried to infiltrate our demonstration by sending people like Masimba Mavaza a 'controversial' immigration lawyer who allegedly defrauded Zimbabweans of hundreds of thousands £ of the hard-earned cash. 

He is a clown Zanu P.F fanatic supporter and 'planted' rogue Central Intelligence Officer [CIO] playing politics for the belly at the expense of the people of Zimbabwe suffering under the regime. He targets human rights activists and opposition to silence those speaking against the regime. 

He invaded our protest on a false pretext of freedom to demonstrate; a human right denied to the people of Zimbabwe by the regime he supports. 

The Police denied him to protest among us because of our clashing opinions and the Police 'assisted' him with a walk of shame miles away out of sight. 

The following day he staged his unsuccessful demo with 4 people as nobody supports his cause and was only covered in the local state-controlled newspaper any normal person would never read. 

He was so hurt that he penned an article based on a false narrative, full of hate, green lies, bitterness and a fruitless attempt to derail human rights advocacy. It’s a shame the state has its mouthpiece and puppets as no qualified objective journalists would ever publish such vile narrative. 

https://nehandaradio.com/2021/08/12/a-rebuttal-of-the-masimba-mavaza-narrative-of-linking-deported-criminals-to-mdc-alliance/

The regime tried damage limitation after a successful demonstration against Ed Mnangagwa COP26 visit by a failed welcome ceremony. 

The regime offered attendees 2US$, free meal and transport which is the reason they attended; as an average person survives on less than US$5:50 a day so they are coerced. 

The President's public address was embarrassing as he lied to the people of Zimbabwe by playing the bigger man and how U.S.A President and U.K President was keen to re-engage with his government. He published in the local paper the general photos World Leaders pose together to emphasize global unity as a testimony of his engagement in private dialogue one on one with powerful heads.

Zimbabweans arrive in Glasgow to Protest

https://www.herald.co.zw/ecstasy-as-president-returns/

Our message is clear, stop human rights abuse, engage rule of law, follow the constitution, end the violence, abductions, tortures, provide good governance as demanded in the constitution. 

The Government can spew all types of propaganda, send Pastors to lobby or blame its failures on
sanctions, but until it reforms Zanu PF will always be an outcast. The E.U delegation reiterated the same message to ED Mnangagwa that support is only available if he reforms. Our demonstration was a success and in agreement with the rest of the world.

Response to Dr Masimba Mavaza

By Vimbai Mamombe

It is very sad that Dr Masimba Mavaza continues to abuse and assault Zimbabwean women in the UK accusing them of not having a mind of their own to make political choices, opening their honey pots to John Burke in their numbers making them morally bankrupt and possibly stupid. 

Zanu PF continues to behave like a four-year-old with a sugar rush and a pistol in their hands indiscreetly shooting themselves in the foot. How does Zanu PF allow a man like Masimba Mavaza to speak on their behalf about the women of Zimbabwe in the diaspora is a complete disgrace. Dr Mavaza has no regard for Zimbabwean women running his mouth to abuse them verbally. 

Zanu PF has been known for years to seek to embarrass men who have opposed them by accusing them of sleeping with women a typical example being the disgraced Catholic Bishop Pius Ncube. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-zimbabwe-bishop-mugabe-idUSL1781552220070717 His nude pictures were thrown all over the media just to humiliate him for opposing the Zanu PF agenda. 

Of course I will not spend time in this article defending John Burke but what I will highlight and condemn in the strongest terms that the pull factor for women to attend demonstrations is not John Burke’s sleeping habits! John Has opined his own responce here

This is completely absurd and can only come out of a narrow-minded brain and insipid stupidity. Honestly how can the success of the Glasgow protests be attributed to John Burke. By your inference Masimba Mavaza those women who turn up for Zanu PF functions who in your UK circles is bedding them. This is the folly and stupidity of your arguments. 

Masimba Mavaza, people are tired of Zanu PF human rights abuses, corruption, and election rigging. That is why many women turned up to protest in Glasgow. Most women who turned up in Glasgow were not even paid a dime to participate. 

Men like Masimba Mavaza throw such accusations to stop women from entering the political arena. Does being active in a political setting mean that one is being remunerated for it. So how much is an individual being paid to attend Zanu PF functions in the UK if that is the yard stick. Who in Zanu PF is the paymaster?

I am in disbelief that Zanu PF allows such nonsense to be penned on their behalf. 

Zimbabwean women turned up in Glasgow because they believe that Zimbabwe is suffering under the despotic rulership of the Mnangagwa administration. The Zanu PF establishment has turned into a cabal that is eating its own offspring and destroying the inheritance of future generations through maladministration, corruption, and self-serving deals. 

COP26 1st Nov 2021 Zimbabwean Protest

 

Mr Mavaza how much were you paid to write an article that parades narrow mindedness putting into question your ability to comprehend matters and sadder your attitude towards women. To you are women worthless tools that will do anything for a penny. Are you genuinely Zimbabwean? Please educate yourself about the work ethic of Zimbabwean women their abilities to work and fend for their families. Why are you painting ‘your sisters’, vana vevhu with such a dirty paint brush? Dr Mavaza please mind the Zimbabwean women and show them some respect. The last article you wrote was disgraceful. 

Masimba Mavaza I will refer you to the petition that was delivered to 10 Downing Street on 11/11/21 that is the reason was why many women took money from their own pockets and travelled to Glasgow to reiterate to Mnangagwa that they are not happy with his continued human rights abuse. 

Women from Zimbabwe love their country. 

Defending Mnangagwa is no measure for loving your country. It may show the opposite if one supports a despotic establishment and a president with a horrible human rights record shows that they are equally greedy and corrupt and will do anything for money. 

Masimba Mavaza you are a shame and a disgrace to the mothers, sisters, and girls of Zimbabwe. You cannot imagine the pain I feel as I write this because women have been degraded by Zanu PF. Shame on you Masimba Mavaza. 

Mr Mavasa if you want to help women in Zimbabwe please use your political influence to lobby the Zanu PF government to let Merry Chiwenga access medical treatment.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/174300479637679/permalink/1513923665675347/

Further you could guide Zanu PF to build more maternity wards as the current maternity system is in a shambles. Not this misdirected energy you have against the Zimbabwe diaspora.
 

Mnangagwa Failed COP26 Summit

By Mercy Netsai GOMO

ED Mnangagwa [illegal] President of Zimbabwe, had no business in Glasgow given his gross human rights violation record. Thus he faced mass demonstration because of his failed governance. 

It within our constitution preamble that the Government should provide Good Governance, but Zimbabwe is marred with high levels of corruption under his leadership. The Drax case involves the first family and led to the arrest of the Health Minister Obadiah Moyo for misuse of COVID19 funds. 

There is no separation between judiciary and executive leading to catch and release culture as witnessed by Obadiah Moyo walking scot free, despite compelling evidence and over $US2M confiscated by Interpol sitting in an offshore bank account in Hungary. 

The 2nd Republic regime has captured judiciary and weaponizes it against opposition, human rights activists but protects Zanu PF elites. 

Henrietta Rushwaya was caught with 6.9kg’s of gold and released without charge due to lacking of evidence as the CCTV was turned off. Interestingly enough this smugging charge was mentioned in the House of Lords [29th October 2021] - however the UK Government [FCDO and British Embassy in Harare] said that they were "unaware" of this serious breach!

The enforcement agencies are complicit in protecting the powerful Zanu PF circle under ED Mnangagwa leadership. Garudzo Ziyadhuma was the State Prosecutor in both cases arising suspicion if he is fit for office or enabling criminals to walk free. 

The Auditor general Milred Shiri sighted concerns on how tenders were issued to fraudulent companies with none supply of goods or fake invoices in her 2021 report. 

She came short to naming and shaming as the companies were directly or indirectly linked to Government officials. ED Mnangagwa promised to eradicate corruption on his New Dispensation pledges but it is rampant. 

 

Return The Rule of Law in Zimbabwe

Malvern at COP26 Glasgow

The judiciary system in Zimbabwe has been compromised by ruling party Zanu P-F. There is no separation between judiciary and executive making Zimbabwe a quasi-state. Rule of law is non-existent as it is manipulated and used as a weapon against the opposition party and human rights activists.
 
In May 2021, Ed Mnangagwa amended the Constitution to extend the retirement age of senior Judges to 75 if they are in good health. The Constitution of Zimbabwe protects itself from violation by having set steps to make amendments. All the amendments must be done through a public referendum and voted in Parliament. The President used his executive powers to make amends and took advantage of his majority in Parliament to make it law. Chief Justice Malaba was due for retirement and had his tenure extended for five years. Chief Malaba was the same judge responsible for validation of 2018 elections results which were being disputed by MDCA for alleged rigging. 

 There is a comprehensive fair process of appointing senior judges on merit. They are interviewed on national television by The Judiciary Commission panel comprising of senior serving and retired judges. There workload is evaluated and scrutinised in-depth on technical law aspects vetting capabilities, impartiality, and competence among other things. The President is presented with a list of successful candidates to choose his preferred choice. It was abuse of power by Ed Mnangagwa to appoint Chief Malaba without following set channels and was challenged in Supreme Court but dismissed.
 
MDCA Youth leader Makomborero Haruzivishe was arrested in March for inciting public violence against Police and resisting arrest. Makomborero was at Copa Cabana terminus when he saw riot police attacking vendors. He is alleged to have whistled a signal interpreted as mobilising public to revolt. Makomborero has been in jail for over 200 days without trial and prosecution postpones court date saying it is not ready reminding him in maximum security prison in Chikurubi. Makomborero could pay a fine or sentenced to 20 years in prison. Makomborero’s case has nothing to do with inciting public violence but a class war against the poor. Zimbabwe is an impoverished country with over 95% unemployment and hyper-inflation. There is no employment, and most people are self-employed surviving on less than $5:50 a day. The Government serves a few and protects the rich. The Government banned thousands of self- employed combi drivers/whindis/ ranks marshals  in favour of allocating a bus tender (ZUPCO) to Auxilia Mnangagwa and Tagwirei. Makomborero is being penalised for his activism and the Government is holding him on remand on fabricated charges.
 
Hopewell Chin’ono a journalists and human rights activists has been arrested over three times on fabricated charges. He spent 42 days at Chikurubi maximum prison on charges to incitement to commit public violence a law which was squashed in 2014. Hopewell was later arrested for publishing fake news when he whistled corruption on Covid funds which implicated the 1st Family (Mnangagwa Twins). Beatrice Mtetwa who defended Hopewell was disqualified for posting a tweet calling for citizens to demonstrate against corruption but was later reinstated.
 
Judiciary is used a weapon against opposing ideologies to the ruling party but also exonerates the elite when caught red handed. The Health Minister Obadiah Moyo was arrested for misuse of Covid 19 funds. He awarded a contract to a Hungarian firm worth $20M without following correct procedure. The opposition pressed on the case after Interpol ceased 2M in a Hungarian bank. The Health Minister charges of abuse of office were dropped as the charges by the Prosecuting Officer Garudzo Ziyadhuma were not clear. He was state prosecutor handling Henrietta Rushwaya for allegedly smuggling over 6kgs of gold. The case involved the Central Intelligence Officers and apparently the gold was linked to Auxilia Mnangagwa. The Prosecutor Garudzo Ziyadhuma dropped the charges citing lack of evidence as the CCTV was switched off at Robert Mugabe Airport. The Prosecutor is very controversial as he catches and releases those linked with Government Officials but denies bail to human rights activists and opposition party
members.
