“We are a registered trust whose mandate is clear and covers exactly what our members were doing in Chegutu. They were educating people on their right to participate in the referendum, and nothing else. “As an organization we are going to engage likeminded organizations and approach government over this development,” Pasirayi said.
National Constitution Assembly Chairperson Lovemore Madhuku recently said government should suspend POSA, during the referendum education period to make it possible for human rights defenders to educate citizens.
