Provincial Summaries Bulawayo Date HR Violated Provincial highlights Date Right to Kenneth Nyazika goes to Lobengula Primary School. He has been denied access to a birth certificate, as his biological unknown education mother disappeared and left the child with her mother without any medical records. Kenneth’s mother moved to South Right to birth Africa while he was 3 months old. Currently, he is staying with his grandmother identified as Jane Tshuma. On several documents counts, it is reported that the grandmother visited relevant offices in the quest of procuring a birth certificate for her grandson- Kenneth. However, she alleges that her efforts became fruitless as relevant offices in the Registry cited huge amounts and pertinent documents that ultimately made it impossible for her grandson to be in possession of the birth certificate. While his mother has continued to dither in providing the much needed documents and costs, the grandmother has gone out her way in securing a place for Kenneth at ECD level. Kenneth is unable to proceed to grade one without a birth certificate. ZPP is referring this case to Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. 27 February Labour Two security guards employed at Maswazi Primary school are being victimized on charges of sabotaging the 21st 2017 Rights February Movement celebrations. The two men, identified as Phillip Mukono* and Tabani Sithole* are accused of having locked school gates and went away with the keys on 24 February 2017, when a group of Zanu PF supporters from Mashonaland provinces were supposed to sleep there on their way to Matobo the following day for the President’s birthday celebrations. The guards deny the charge of insubordination. The two guards are said to have appeared before a disciplinary committee for grossly undermining their employment terms and sabotaging the ‘national event’. The two maintain that they only left after the Zanu PF supporters failed to turn up.
