ZHRO Statement {PRESS RELEASE: 15th Nov 2023} on the Abduction & Subsequent Murder of Tapfumanei Masaya, Job Sikhala Detention and the Election Rigging Farrago
26th November 2023:- The United Nations are seeking an Investigation
In preparation for a mass demonstration on the 13th December 2023 in London, Jo’berg and Botswana {so far} we have been reviewing the crass & overt criminality in Zimbabwe, perpetrated by the {illegal Occupation} of the Zanu PF regime. Whilst planning for this event we became aware of the tragedy relating to the murder {by Zanu PF/State Actors} of Tapfumanei Masaya.
Pastor Tapfumanei Masaya, was abducted whilst campaigning for a CCC candidate in Mabvuku, Harare, by armed men {ZANU-PF & Zimbabwean State lackeys} on Saturday, 11" November 2023. His body was found at the intersection of Arcturus Road and Lobo Road in the Cleveland area of Harare on Sunday, 12th November 2023, - the next day. The Police appeared to be aware of this fact at that time – some reports claim that the prepetratiors of this heinous crime alerted the Police themselves.
Zimbabwe's Constitution guarantees its citizen's and resident's rights and freedoms. These include rights to freedom of speech, demonstrations, association, etc. The African (Banjul) Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights also guarantee such rights and freedoms.
Ubuntu (Zulu pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼù]) is a Bantu term meaning "humanity". It's sometimes translated as "I am because we are" (also "I am because you are"), or "humanity towards others" (Zulu umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu). In Xhosa, the latter term is used, but is often meant in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity"
Common Law from Magna Carta {1215} proclaims inalienable rights; several of these are listed below. Many great Republics have applied them within their formal Constitutions: https://legaldictionary.net/inalienable-rights/
- To act in self-defense (personal, family, innocents, nation)
- To express any idea through print, voice, banner, or other media.
- To be secure in one’s home, papers, and person against unwarranted searches and seizures (privacy).
- To suffer no cruel or unusual punishment.
- To establish, monitor, control, and petition our servant government to help secure the above rights.
- To abolish said government, when it becomes destructive of these rights.
Political affiliation or opposition, should not put our lives at risk, or to be incarcerated such as; Job Sikhala who has been unlawfully held in custody for 547 days by the 13th December 2013. This is a travesty to the ideals stated above and regardless of Zimbabwe’s {compromised and under threat} Constitution.
Election Law and ZEC Mismanagement:
All these abductions, torture and false “recalls” by State and their ‘Actors’ have come about due to the questionable & illegal Zimbabwe Election and the inability of the “current regime of occupation”
to accept clear and enumerated electoral defeat! The Brave ELECTORATE have been DISENFRANCHISED! AGAIN
