My name is Temba Peter Mliswa, a citizen of Zimbabwe and Independent Member of Parliament for Norton Constituency. I write to you in terms of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. section 243. which provides that the functions of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission include

1. To receive and consider complaints from the public and to take such action in regard to the complaints as it considers appropriate.

2. Protect people against abuse of power and maladministration by the State and public institutions and by officials of those institutions.

3. Investigate the conduct of any authority or person, suspected of violating any of the hurnan rights provided in the Constitution’s Declaration of Rights. 4. Take necessary actions to assist victims of human rights violations to receive justice

I make the following complaint regarding a verbal threat made against me by Hon. Dexter Nduna, Member of Parliament for Chegutu West Constituency, and request the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to investigate these abuses and secure appropriate redress:

During a Mines and Mining Development Parliamentary Portfolio Committee meeting in the Senate Chambers at the Parliament of Zimbabwe, Hon Dexter Nduna made personal ominous verbal threats against me of which video and audio evidence is available.

1. “Ndine vamwe vanhu vandakauraya vandisingazive” which translated into English means, ‘I have killed some people I do not even know’

2. “I will deal with you outside” (Parliament)

As a result of these threats, the security of my person and that of my family is now at risk, my right to freedom of movement and expression have been seriously compromised.

I therefore look forward to your urgent response in this regard.

Yours sincerely

Hon. Temba P. Mliswa

Member of Parliament & Chairperson, Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for Mines & Mining Development
