Opposition Councillor Arrested For Sharing Video Criticising President Mnangagwa

Councillor Ishmael Maukazuva of Ward 12 in Chivhu, Mashonaland East Province, has been arrested on allegations of cyber-bullying and harassment.

According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Maukazuva is accused of violating the Data Protection Act by sharing a video on a residents’ WhatsApp group, which allegedly shows a woman criticising President Mnangagwa’s handling of the economy and making derogatory remarks about the ZANU PF party leader.

Maukazuva, represented by ZLHR’s Paidamoyo Saurombe, was detained overnight at a Chivhu police station and was expected to appear in Chivhu Magistrates Court on Thursday.

This arrest makes Maukazuva the latest individual to face charges related to insulting President Mnangagwa, joining a growing list of people targeted by Zimbabwean authorities in their intensified crackdown on criticism of the country’s leader.

The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights views Maukazuva’s arrest as a disturbing escalation of the authorities’ assault on dissent, where perceived opponents of President Mnangagwa and his ruling ZANU PF party are being aggressively pursued, and arrested by the police.

It's a result of kwashiorkor leadership people can't continue ululating while Emerson continue driving this already broke economy into an abyss. Only people with tiny brains like the ones of a chimpanzee say mnangagwa is a good leader. In fact compared to Robert Mugabe I think Mugabe was a saint and mnangagwa is a very cruel despot.

Asi timbozviisa wo mu bhutsu dza ED, you are given a mandate to govern vanhu, Apa muripama 1 nema sanctions, Opposition Ana mpugunyoni, believe you can't govern, uku vachiti sa masanctions arambe ariko so that they get people to a footing since they are ever suspended, Ungaitasei kuti nyika ifambe negwara I give Ed governance as that of a leader ari marooned in an island, where everything is cut off, (sanctions) you try hard to have a gong out of it, to a certain extent extent of you manage, but there are those that naturally born to contradict, vagara vasinga appreciate anything good done What exactly would you do?

Jivas Chihwehwete · 2 days ago

maybe you first need to explain why the president in on targeted sanctions and what is needed for those sunctions to be removed and how are they affecting the country since they are individual sanction and lastly what do you say about level of corruption in the country?

There is a term in Chishona that explains kwad,zvisina kuswera, or in Sindebele, uku senga lezi mitiyo, you see what my guy, the very people that transmit the deregatory sentiments are outside the country and are honours at influencing people to revolt, that's their acts naturally and they are in born deflectors that how they getpaid, to write of their country and of birth
