Members of Parliament (MPs) from the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) have criticised the government for its seemingly lazy approach to investigating politically motivated abductions and murders of their party members. This comes in light of the recent <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/11/14/police-confirm-death-of-tapfumanei-masaya/">death of CCC activist Tapfumaneyi Masaya</a>, who was abducted and later found dead. The legislators raised their concerns during a session in Parliament, where they grilled Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi.
Masaya’s abduction occurred while he was campaigning for the party’s parliamentary candidate in the upcoming by-elections. This incident follows a pattern of similar cases, including the abduction and torture of CCC legislator Takudzwa Ngadziore, as well as the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/10/25/former-mp-for-mabvuku-tafara-james-chidhakwa-narrates-his-abduction-and-torture/">abduction and torture</a> of former legislator James Chidhakwa. These abductions have sparked fear and concern among opposition members, as well as human rights organizations and concerned citizens.
During a Question and Answer session in the National Assembly on Wednesday, CCC legislator Fadzayi Mahere questioned the government’s policy on ensuring that the police thoroughly investigate cases of enforced disappearances and murder of opposition activists. Mahere cited constitutional provisions that oblige the police to secure the lives of Zimbabwean people and guarantee the right to life, as well as protection against torture or cruel treatment. She said:
<blockquote>
Over the last few weeks, we have seen an escalation in abductions, enforced disappearances and unexplained murders. What is government policy on ensuring that the police investigate?
Section 219 (1) (c) obliges the Police Service to secure the lives of Zimbabwean people. 
Section 48 of the Constitution guarantees the right to life and section 53 guarantees that no person may be subjected to physical or psychological torture or cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment or punishment.
</blockquote>
Harare East legislator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Allan_Markham/">Allan Norman Markham (Rusty)</a> also criticised the police for their biased approach in attending to reported cases, particularly those involving the abduction of opposition members. Markham said:
<blockquote>
When you ask for information, we have the registration of the vehicle used and the names of the people who did it but no one will take the report.
</blockquote>
In response, Minister Ziyambi challenged the opposition legislators to provide concrete evidence and assured them that the government does not condone such acts. He urged them to bring forth any information they have to the relevant authorities for investigation. Ziyambi said:
<blockquote>
We have a policy that informs what the laws must be and we have a Constitution that clearly indicates that we must protect the right to life. We have a Constitution that prohibits enforced disappearances. So, the policy of government is already there.
What is needed is, if there is anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of these individuals that they are alleging ‘abducted’ or did whatever they did, they must provide the investigating officers with that information so that they can investigate fully and ensure that they are prosecuted. The policy position of the government is that we are a peaceful nation. We do not want anyone to be harassed.
If there is anything, it is contrary to our beliefs as government and as a party. If she (Mahere) has information about the non-investigation of that particular issue, I am sure from what she is saying, she has a lot of information and the (Home Affairs) Minister (Kazembe Kazembe) will be glad to listen to that and be able to summon the commanders of the police why they are not taking that information and acting upon it, to ensure that those allegations are investigated
</blockquote>
The issue of enforced disappearances and abductions is not new in Zimbabwe. The abduction and disappearance of journalist and human rights defender Itai Dzamara in 2015 remains unresolved, and there have been concerns about the government’s commitment to addressing such cases.
The CCC leader, Nelson Chamisa, has pleaded with President Emmerson Mnangagwa to cancel the upcoming by-elections in order to protect lives. Human rights groups, as well as the European Union and the United States embassy, have also called for investigations and the arrest of those responsible for the abductions.

MPs Demand Police Action Over Abductions And Murder

Fadzayi Mahere, a Member of Parliament for the Mt Pleasant constituency, expressed concern that people who have been abducted and tortured are scared to report their ordeal to the police. She said they fear the government will treat them like they did with Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri, and Netsai Marova. These three individuals claimed to have been abducted and tortured by suspected state security agents, but the State accused them of faking their abduction and were arrested for spreading lies. The case against them is still ongoing.
Recently, another MP from the opposition party, Takudzwa Ngadziore, along with former MP James Chidhakwa, claimed they were <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/11/02/police-say-ngadziore-yet-to-report-alleged-abduction-and-torture/">abducted, tortured, and injected with an unknown substance.</a> Ngadziore’s abduction was recorded live on Facebook before he was taken to Mazowe, where he was tortured and left naked.
The public expressed outrage over the incidents on social media. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) stated that they are trying to contact Ngadziore to gather more information about the alleged abduction. In a short statement on X, the ZRP said:
<blockquote>
The ZRP has been keenly following an allegation of abduction and torture on Social Media. The Police inform the public that no such case has been reported. We are trying to make contact with the alleged victim so as to elicit the facts beyond what is on social media.
</blockquote>
Information Secretary, Nick Mangwana, said investigations on all matters including those around the unverified pictures and video clips are also underway. He said:
<blockquote>
 We have been keenly following an allegation of abduction and torture trending on Social Media. We have also been handling a number of Media Inquiries on the same matter. We are liaising with the @PoliceZimbabwe who advise us that no such case has been reported to them so far. They also informed us that they are trying to make contact with the alleged victim so as to get more facts about this case, as currently they only have Social Media chatter to go by. They will issue a more operational statement in due course. Thank you.
</blockquote>
Dr Walter Mzembi, a former Tourism Minister who is currently living in exile, stated that it didn’t make sense for the police to wait for a report from Ngadziore when there is clear footage showing the alleged perpetrator carrying an AK47 rifle. He said:
<blockquote>
Is @PoliceZimbabwe so complacent let alone our security forces that they will wait for a Police Report when there is footage of people marauding with AK47 Assault Rifles in suburbs substituting them in their role unless the only explanation being that they know the people in the footage and it was an authorised operation?
</blockquote>
Former PetroTrade board chair, Tinomudaishe Chinyoka suggested that the said footage was no admissible evidence in a court of law. He responded to Mzembi:
<blockquote>
Ahh, Minister! Footage doesn’t mean it’s a crime, it could be a film being shot. Are you saying the police should investigate things based on tweets? Will we be safe?
</blockquote>
In response to Nick Mangwana’s statement saying police had not received any report, Mahere said the victims were afraid of what happened to Mamombe and colleagues. She said:
<blockquote>
Last time, Joana, Cecilia and Netsai reported their abduction and torture. You guys turned on them. They were arrested and prosecuted for “communicating falsehoods.” The perpetrators went free. This is why we describe you as a violent, corrupt dictatorship that offends the Constitution at every turn. Your call for a police report to be made is not bona fide at all.
</blockquote>
In the past, authorities have made claims suggesting that people who reported being abducted were possibly staging the abductions themselves in order to damage the government’s reputation. They have also suggested that there could be a “third force” that was responsible for carrying out these abductions in an attempt to tarnish the government’s image.

Abduction Victims Afraid To Report Fearing What Happened To Mamombe And Colleagues - Mahere

James Chidhakwa, the former MP for Mabvuku-Tafara, has narrated his account of being <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/10/25/former-mp-for-mabvuku-tafara-james-chidhakwa-narrates-his-abduction-and-torture/">abducted and tortured</a> by suspected state security services. He described how he was approached by people in a Toyota Fortuner while waiting for his wife. They forcefully pulled him out of his car, covered his head with a sack and drove away. He said he called for help, but no one came to his aid. They cut his shirt using a knife, took his shoes, injected him with an unknown substance, and began beating him severely without explanation.

WATCH: James Chidhakwa Narrates How He Was Abducted

Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Mabvuku-Tafara, James Chidhakwa, has narrated how he was abducted and tortured by suspected state security services.
He said he was picked by about seven people who were driving a Toyota Fortuner. He was waiting to pick up his wife from work when he was picked up around 7pm. He narrated in Shona:
<blockquote>
While I was parked at my wife’s workplace, a blue-gold Toyota Fortuner pulled up next to me. Suddenly, the people inside the car approached me. One person came to my door, and another tried to open the other doors. Even though the doors were locked, the windows were open, so they unlocked the doors and forcefully pulled me out. I cried out for help, but sadly, no one came to rescue me. 
I was forced into the Fortuner, and they covered my head with a sack. Then, in a remote place, they took out a knife and cut my shirt. They took my shoes and threw them into the jungle. They injected me with something using a syringe, but I don’t know what it was. After that, they started beating me severely and without reason. They were quiet people, not speaking much, but in the car, they kept saying, “You’re the change champions.” They also asked about my political affiliation, whether I belonged to (Nelson) Chamisa’s faction or that of (Sengezo) Tshabangu. I asked them if Tshabangu had a party but they didn’t respond.
Once they finished beating me, they reversed the vehicle and ran the car wheels over my legs, causing immense pain. Then, they drove away, leaving me injured with broken feet and arm, cuts on my legs and head, and marks from a knobkerrie on my back. 
When I started seeking help, some artisanal miners saved me and brought me to the police where I was given a letter for medical treatment. I contacted my family, and we went to the Parirenyatwa hospital with the police letter. 
We understand that these actions indicate the regime’s fear and panic. When the country takes a different path than what they expected, they become anxious. We know that ZANU PF, (President Emmerson) Mnangagwa, are feeling uneasy, especially because SADC is about to hold a summit about Zimbabwe and Chamisa is causing them trouble, and they don’t know how to handle it. 
But for me, this is part of the struggle. I’m not worried or angry because I know that in the fight for change, we encounter such obstacles. It’s ZANU PF’s strategy to instil fear in citizens, but I want to tell my fellow change champions that fear is just an opinion, and we don’t subscribe to that opinion. We are determined to make our country democratic, and we firmly believe that Mr. Chamisa should lead us. We have no doubt that we should continue fighting. They have given me strength and motivation.
Doctors are currently investigating the substance they injected into me. They are conducting blood tests to find out more.
They (the assailants) believed that my power came from my hair, so they cut it and took it with them. I’m unsure what they plan to do with it.
</blockquote>
Gift Ostallos Siziba, the deputy spokesperson of the CCC, stated that they visited Chidhakwa on Wednesday morning. Siziba claimed that ZANU PF is fearful of the public’s determination to restore legitimacy in Zimbabwe since they know they did not win the 23 August 2023 elections. These attacks are occurring openly in front of the public, he said.

WATCH: Chidhakwa Was Abducted, Tortured, Injected With Unknown Substance

Zimbabwe’s biggest opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa, has reported that its former Member of Parliament (MP) for Mabvuku-Tafara, James Chidhakwa, was abducted and subjected to torture. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the party confirmed that Chidhakwa is currently receiving medical treatment at a local hospital. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
The regime in Harare is aware that it did not win the recently concluded flawed, sham, disorganized, and shambolic elections. That is why it is behaving like a terrorist organization, abducting and torturing our innocent members. We condemn this behavior in the strongest terms.
We have received a report that our change champion, Hon Chidhakwa, was abducted, tortured, injected with an unknown substance, and subsequently dumped in Acturus at midnight by suspected state agents. His dreadlocks were shaved off using a sharp object. He is currently at a local hospital. The regime in Harare continues to unleash violence and launch attacks against our members. This behavior must STOP.
</blockquote>
The party’s deputy spokesperson, Gift Ostallos Siziba, echoed the report saying Chidhakwa was abducted and severely assaulted by unknown individuals. He said Chidhakwa was found dumped in Acturus, injured and injected with an unknown substance. He sustained deep cuts and is currently hospitalised.
Some people find the timing of these abductions suspicious, as they often occur during significant international events, such as the upcoming SADC’s Anti-Sanctions Day on 25 October. One commentator said:
<blockquote>
What a coincidence. Abduction a day before Zimbabwe anti sanctions day to be observed by the international community. I smell a rat.
</blockquote>
Some people expressed disappointment in the opposition leadership for not taking action against the alleged attackers. A commentator criticised their repetitive statements condemning the attacks, stating that mere tweets won’t deter “ZANU PF thugs”. The commentator suggested that the opposition should take decisive action, similar to what their predecessors did against the oppressive Smith regime. Otherwise, the situation will remain unchanged. Another one said:
<blockquote>
Are you trying to tell us that since 2000 all opposition supporters are like sheep waiting to be slaughtered? Why are its shepherds always crying but not finding means to protect their sheep? This clearly shows that the shepherds are cowards and sheep are on their own.
</blockquote>
There have been numerous cases of government critics, opposition members, human rights defenders, and journalists being abducted. The alleged victims believe that state security agents are responsible for these kidnappings and acts of torture. However, the government denies these allegations, claiming that they are false and intended to tarnish its reputation.
