President Emmerson Mnangagwa faces trouble

President Emmerson Mnangagwa faces trouble.PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s failure to investigate and bring to account, people linked to the abductions of two unionists, Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA) leader Peter Magombeyi,.

trade union leader Obert Masaraure will headline the next meeting of the International Union Rights Journal it has emerged. According to British based International Center for Trade Union Rights (ICTUR) director, Daniel Blackburn in a letter addressed to Mnangagwa,.Labour Minister Sekai Nzenza, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, United Nations Special Rapporteur Clément Nyaletsossi, there is need for the adoption of measures to ensure Zimbabwe complies with obligations under international law was made.


ICTUR expressed concerns over the recent abductions of Magombeyi and Masaraure the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Unions of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) leader.The global rights organ also raised similar concerns on the death threats made against Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions leaders Peter Mutasa and Japhet Moyo.

Said Blackburn: “ICTUR further demands that the government immediately cease its harassment of trade union leaders, officials and members, to drop all charges against them related to the exercise of their fundamental rights, and release any individuals still in detention.“ICTUR will report these incidents in the journal International Union Rights, which was established in 1993, and which enjoys a readership in more than 100 countries.”.

Mutasa and Moyo are also facing subversion charges linked to the violent protests that rocked the country in January.The union watcher pointed out that the current escalation of incidents of violence, intimidation and harassment of trade unionists, as well as the criminalisation of those who exercise their rights to organise and to assembly, are matters of “grave concern”.Blackburn reminded Mnangagwa of his obligation to adhere to the principles of freedom of association enshrined in the International Labour Organisation Conventions 87 and 98, both of which Zimbabwe has ratified.


The journal report is likely to dent Mnangagwa’s re-engagement efforts after years of Zimbabwe’s isolation from the international community due to former President, Robert Mugabe’s policies which saw the country being placed under sanctions.The move also come at a time when the country is battling to end the health sector strike amid fresh strike threats by the country’s teachers.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...
