EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It’s not Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd
…the Preamble of the Constitution, Zimbabwe’s supreme law, which
no one is above, begins with the phrase, We the People of Zimbabwe.
Suspected Zanu PF youths in Zengeza,
Chitungwiza attacked CCC supporter Agatha
Mujati with sharp objects on Sunday 28
February. Political violence prevents women
from effectively participating in politics.
Zimbabwe is for every Zimbabwean! It does not
belong to a group of greedy, selfish and
narcissist individuals who think everything,
including the lives of all Zimbabweans, revolve
around them.
This is why the Preamble of the Constitution,
Zimbabwe’s supreme law, which no one is
above, begins with the phrase, We the People of
Zimbabwe.
It goes on to state that, “We the people of
Zimbabwe, united in our diversity by our
common desire for freedom, justice and
equality, and our heroic resistance to
colonialism, racism and all forms of domination
and oppression…”
This sums up the fact that Zimbabwe belongs
to everyone, and as the Zimbabwe Peace Project
(ZPP), we write to reaffirm that in the face of a
social, economic and political situations where
some individuals holding State power have
acted in a manner that is not consistent with
the Constitution, and have gone on to parade
extreme disregard for the people whose welfare
they are in charge of, this must stop.
This is happening as the country’s political
temperatures are at their peak, less than three
weeks before critical by-elections that are
happening after a series of depressing political
developments.
And perhaps, the true colours and character of
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government
and the ruling party are coming out once more.
Like always, President Mnangagwa’s party, Zanu
PF takes a lead in human rights violations
recorded this month at 41 percent, and the
Zimbabwe Republic Police, which is under his
command as the Commander in Chief of the
Defence Forces, comes second after
contributing to 37 percent of human rights
violations recorded in February 2022.
