Let us not forget the genocide of Gukurahundi. The recent "enquiry" smacks of an air-brush attempt to alter history

Geneva — Taken from a VOA article {duplicated as "News" by other media} which ignores all ZEC vote rigging, manipulation and mis-declarations. ZHRO and many others are Organising Protests. See Image.
The United Nations called Friday for an independent investigation after an opposition activist in Zimbabwe was found dead following his abduction ahead of controversial by-elections {our italics - how about illegal due to fake recalls?}. The body of Tapfumanei Masaya, a pastor and an activist with the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), was discovered Monday, 30 kilometers (18 miles) outside Harare, the UN rights office said. He and fellow activist Jeffrey Kalosi had been snatched by armed men in broad daylight two days earlier while campaigning in the Zimbabwean capital for a CCC candidate.
"Both were reportedly tortured," UN rights office spokeswoman Liz Throssell said, adding that Kalosi had been released in the same area where Masaya's body turned up. See ZHRO Statement on the Tapfumanei Masaya Abduction, TORTURE and Murder
The killing follows a string of reported abductions, arrests and other violent acts that the CCC says {it is a campaign of intimidation that the evidence is showing} are part of a campaign of intimidation against its supporters following disputed general elections last August. Throssell noted that Zimbabwean authorities had said Masaya's killing was being investigated. {as unlikely as that is going to happen}
"We urge them to ensure there are thorough, prompt and independent investigations not only into his death but also into all allegations of people being tortured and kidnapped," she said.
"Perpetrators should be held accountable in fair trials that follow due process."

Our Change Champion, Bishop Tapfumaneyi Masaya, who was abducted in Mabvuku while campaigning, has been found dead. They recalled a legitimately elected MP of Mabvuku, Hon. Kufa. Today, this has cost an innocent life. He shall have justice. @Cde_Ostallos
The dictatorship in Zimbabwe is nothing but an oppressive barbaric & murderous group of thugs. Bishop Tapfumaneyi Masaya who was abducted by ZanuPF agents on Nov 11 was today found dead. What government does this? How is anyone inspired by this callousness? Justice will be served for Masaya and others. We must never forget this💔💔💔RIP Bishop T. Masaya. @PastorEvanLive
The truly despicable Zanu PF thugs are beyond redemption. We have said this time & time again that Zanu PF are ruled by psychopaths - who need to be institutionalised in order to protect the electorate. This is NOT politics - this is MURDER @ZHRO_Zimbabwe
Deeply saddened by the tragic loss of CCC activist Tapfumanei Masaya. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. May his dedication to change and the pursuit of justice be remembered. 🕊️ #RIPMasaya #RIPTapfumaneiMasaya. @SouthendCcc

We should refuse getting used to the shedding blood of any Zimbabwean. This is not a partisan political issue. It is a matter of human dignity. It is against our culture. It is against our beliefs. It is against our laws.
No more shedding of blood. It's enough!!

Devastating news that Pastor Tapfumanei Masaya has been murdered. My heart breaks for Zimbabwe. But I also know justice will come one day. As Archbishop Tutu always said of the fight against apartheid, ‘God’s mills may grind slowly but they grind very fine all the same’

Terrible, Terrible news. This is not good. What is even worse is that there will be no arrests and proper prosecution of the known Zanu PF members that have done this terrible deed.

Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa:
Recently elected HIMSELF through electoral rigging and as seen as the illegitimate leader of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa continues his 'legacy' of destroying, looting and abuse of power. For the past 6 years he has been in power, there is so much evidence that Zimbabwe has been in it's worst state ever, with no development at all and the country is going back into the 'old' age. [see Amnesty International, This Website and ZHRO's articles.]
One of the CCC member's (activist Simbarashe Jingo) made a comment on how unconstitutional this move, to change from Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe to Mutapa Investment Fund is proof that he is on a looting spree, as he describes that this is a "looting vehicle" that will be "one of the biggest loots ever in Zimbabwe".
It is recorded that Zimbabwe is losing over a billion dollars {$1,000,000,000} each year to looting, corruption and Mnangagwa being the king pin. Mnangagwa has done nothing to change the lives of Zimbabwe but only corruption and 'crushing' his opponents.
Former Finance Minister of Zimbabwe, Tendai Biti, on his interview with Heart and Soul said, the SI {Statutory Instrument} brought 20 state entities under one roof.
"The instrument does not meet the test of law and must be rejected as it is illegal. This law was unnecessary,” Biti said.
“They are transferring the public shares into a private vehicle. The government already owns the shares, I think the issue is to sell shares as quickly as possible without public scrutiny.”
A Sovereign Wealth Fund, according to Mt Pleasant MP, Fadzayi Mahere, is a state-owned investment fund comprised of money generated by the government through, for example, surplus reserves from state-owned natural resource revenues, trade surpluses, bank reserves that accumulate from budgeting excesses, foreign currency operations or money that accrues from privatization projects.
Note:
Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, nicknamed "The Crocodile" due to his Crocodile "farm" {where all the bodies are disposed of -allegedly} seen in this cartoon, aptly encapsulating the new Mutapa Wealth Fund.
