Monthly Monitoring Report

Executive Summary: September internationally observes the day of democracy on the 15th and the day of peace on the 21st. However, sadly reported a surge in political intolerance and violence incidents in Zimbabwe, recording a total of 272 human rights violations, an increase from August's 257. The hotspots were Harare, with 47, followed by Mashonaland Central (41), Manicaland (38), and Mashonaland East (36). The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) launched a Resist, Reject and Report Violence Campaign, #RRRV2023, to document and expose perpetrators of politically motivated violence and create an active citizenry that resists, rejects, and reports violence. Zimbabwe is at that time where one ought to look out for the other as human rights violations continue and mainly affect ordinary citizens. A mobile App SPECC, developed by ZPP, empowers citizens to report any Social, Political, Economic, Civil, and Cultural violations in Zimbabwe. ZPP aims to contribute to a peaceful electoral process where citizens are empowered to reject politicians who incite them to engage in politically motivated violence. The September Monitor showed that Zanu PF topped the list of human rights violators by contributing 45.3% of all perpetrators of human rights violations, followed by the Zimbabwe Republic Police at 27%, Municipal Police at 4.8%, and CCC at 4.3%. Municipal Police were involved in demolishing informal traders' structures during the month. The continued swell in the Zanu PF's contribution to perpetrating human rights violations can be attributed to the increasing party campaign activities in preparation for the 2023 elections, with citizens coerced to attend party meetings and instructed on who they should elect against their will. The general citizens comprise most of the September human rights violations victims at over 86%. The Monitor observed an increase from 10.5% in August to 12.4% of the CCC victims. Persons with disability victims decreased to 0.36% for women PWDs and 0.27% for men.
