ARTUZ Leader Masaraure In Court For Allegedly Involvement In Death Of His Friend

The state postponed the case involving Obert Masaraure, the leader of the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) on Thursday citing ongoing investigations. The matter which was heard by Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi has been rescheduled for October 31.

Masaraure is represented by Doug Coltart.

Some Context:

Masaraure was arrested in June 2022, accused of being involved in the murder of his friend Roy Issa. The incident allegedly occurred in 2016 when Issa fell from the seventh floor of a Harare Hotel during a gathering with friends, including Masaraure. At the time, the police concluded that there was no foul play involved in Issa’s death.

The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) believes that these charges are fabricated to discredit Masaraure and stifle dissent against the current regime in Zimbabwe. They view the arrest as a tactic by the ruling regime to enforce their own self-serving rules. Masaraure was arrested while fulfilling his routine bail conditions for another charge at the Harare Central Police Station.

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) denounced the arrest viewing it as a deliberate attempt by the State to suppress Masaraure’s outspoken stance against human rights violations and his advocacy for improved working conditions for teachers. The union said Masaraure has faced multiple arrests on baseless grounds, including a harrowing incident in 2019 when he was abducted, tortured, and left for dead by masked and armed individuals. The ZCTU strongly condemned the arrest describing it as a “calculated arrest“, which aims to instil fear in trade unionists and the public. ZCTU demanded Masaraure’s immediate and unconditional release saying his arrest tarnished Zimbabwe’s reputation.

😑😑😑😑 This is the most disgusting justice system in the world. Zimbabwe yawora chaizvo. An 80 year old President ndiye ari kugadzira ma psychopath in our justice system. All that is wrong is becoming right, all who are innocent are becoming guilty.

For those not conversant with this case, it was initially closed as sudden death. They did not find evidence that the deceased had been pushed. Where have they gotten evidence now ? This means state "bought" some witnesses and asked them to change their versions of stories to suit evidence that Masaraure pushed the deceased from the bulcorn. This is a shameful government. The fact that they are not ready with evidence of an incident which occured 5 years ago means they have no evidence. If this is how Zimbabweans are going to ruled, then we shall be in deep problems. This is my story and I am sticking to it. [ THE BUSH LAWYER4CCC ].

This is very shameful. This is definitely a trumped up charge against Masaure because he is one of government critics. They want to eliminate him by convicting him and sending him to jail. For those who are not conversant withis case, this docket had been 9

Staff Reporter In a shocking turn of events in the opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader, Nelson Chamisa is threatening to fire two of his close lieutenants, Gift ‘Ostallos’ Siziba and Charlton Hwende. A source confided in this publication that Chamisa wanted to chuck out Hwende and Siziba from CCC because the two were showing signs of rebellion by publicly defying the former`s orders. The source revealed that Siziba was threatening Chamisa’s popularity in Bulawayo and Matabeleland Provinces. “Chamisa has made it clear that he intends to expel Hwende and Ostallos from that party. This is because the duo is secretly disregarding Chamisa’s directive to boycott Parliament,” said the source. “Ostallos and Hwende are busy persuading the winning legislators to hold on to their seats and to attend the opening of the 10th Parliament as they had earned their appointments and everything that comes with the status. Hwende is said to have reminded the 103 CCC Members of Parliament elect that they didn’t owe anyone allegiance since they were left to self-finance their campaign to get to where they are,” said the source. Moreover, claims are that Chamisa was facing resistance from his subordinates due to his dictatorial tendencies and selfish behaviour. According to the source, Hwende blames the CCC loss on Chamisa and the latter is aware of it. He also harbors an opinion that, had it been Tendai Biti or Job Sikhala who was on the stirring wheel, CCC would have won the elections. “Our leader Hwende said it all went haywire the minute we allowed Chamisa to stop the elective congress. If we had gone through with it and Biti or Sikhala were elected, we would have won this election. Chamisa’s dictatorial tendency of clinging on to power, imposing candidates is what caused our party to lose this election. “This has nothing to do with ZANU PF rigging, but people were not happy in many constituencies because the candidates that Chamisa imposed on them were unpopular. The reason we lost was due to a protest vote by the people,” said the source. Furthermore, Chamisa purged a lot of CCC big wigs as that party prepared for the Harmonised General Elections. Biti, Welshman Ncube, Sikhala, Tabitha Khumalo and Thokozani Khupe were all thrown to the wayside in favour of the younger generation that he thought he could control.
