The liberation war veterans, who were arrested on Wednesday 25 August
2021 by Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers, were charged with
participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence,
breaches of peace or bigotry as defined in section 37(1)(a) of the
Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
ZRP officers accused them of staging a protest on Wednesday 25 August
2021 outside Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube’s
offices in Harare, where they held placards inscribed “Pay war
veterans they deserve please we are human beings. #Mthuli we are tired
of bread crumbs like Lazurus.”
The nine liberation war veterans namely Isso Madzivanyika, Nyasha
Manyana, Daphne Kanoti, Shoorai Nyamangodo, Faith Chamanda, Ruvimbo
Sphyina Maphosa, Jordan Nderezina, Maron Mabvunzaneyi Mazikana and
Wonderful Sabarauta were expected to appear in court on Friday 27
August 2021.
However, ZRP officers released the liberation war veterans around
midnight and advised their lawyer Paidamoyo Saurombe of Zimbabwe
Lawyers for Human Rights and Chawona Kanoti of Kanoti and Partners
that they will contact them if they want to pursue with prosecuting
them.
The reality is that ZANU was formed in August 1963 to derail the Warvetens as this Party is British Project too to liquidate Communist ZAPU…Zimbabwe Warveteran will die in abject poverty that’s all..
