Zimbabwe rebels in reconciliation talks
By Peta Thorneycroft in Harare
(Filed: 22/01/2005)

A group of seven white rebel cricketers have taken the first step towards
reconciliation with the Zimbabwe cricket authorities.

The players have agreed to train and play league fixtures this weekend after
engaging with a small panel set up by Zimbabwe Cricket to see whether the
rift over governance and selection could be healed.

On Wednesday the seven Test players appeared for a meeting with the panel in
Harare. They were Heath Streak, the former captain now playing a charity
fixture in New Zealand for victims of the tsunami disaster, Stuart Carlisle,
Trevor Gripper, Craig Wishart, Andy Blignaut, whose contract in Tasmania
ended recently, Ray Price and Neil Ferreira. Another meeting is planned for
next week.

Pakistan have been "stunned" by allegations of sexual assault against an
unnamed player, their coach, Bob Woolmer, said in Sydney before tomorrow's
tri-series match against Australia.

A woman claimed she was assaulted by a player in Melbourne while Pakistan
were in town for their Test match against Australia, starting on Boxing Day.
She made no formal complaint to police, but later informed a sexual report
centre.

Shoaib Akhtar has returned to Pakistan with a hamstring injury, and the
management said that the fast bowler's departure had nothing to do with the
case.

A Canberra player, Duncan Brede, has been banned for two months after
returning a positive drug test for prohibited stimulants after a Cricket
Australia Cup match between the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland
Academy of Sport in Brisbane on Nov 15.

Issue 10.   3 January 2005

 

On 17 August 2004, SADC leaders meeting in Mauritius adopted the SADC Protocol – Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections.  Zimbabwe, as a member of SADC, also signed the Protocol and committed itself to implementing its standards.

 

“Mauritius Watch” provides a regular, objective and non-partisan assessment of Zimbabwe’s compliance with the Protocol.  In the run-up to the 2005 Parliamentary Elections we note any significant failures to adhere to the SADC standards.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RESOLUTION

 

On December 16 the European Parliament passed an important resolution on Zimbabwe which bears directly on the forthcoming elections and in particular on compliance with the SADC electoral standards.  The resolution reads, in part:

 

“The European Parliament:

 

1.      Insists that all political interference in the distribution of international food aid is halted without delay to prevent the ZANU PF government from using food as a political weapon.

 

2.      Insists that repressive legislation such as the Public Order and Security Act (POSA) is repealed and the forthcoming elections in Zimbabwe are held in accordance with the SADC principles and guidelines governing democratic elections, including those agreed in Mauritius on August 17 2004, with unimpeded access for international observers and an end to intimidation of opposition supporters.

 

3.      Demands the immediate release (from prison) of Roy Bennett MP (opposition party MP for Chimanimani) and the cessation of all violence and intimidation towards his family and employees.

 

4.      Calls upon Zimbabwe’s neighbours and in particular President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, who recently addressed the European Parliament, to engage on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe to bring about change for the better and to ensure that the Zimbabwean Government fully cooperates with SADC and the wider international community to guarantee free and fair elections and a robust and timely international monitoring presence …

 FRESH WAVE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST OPPOSITION

 

State security agents and ruling ZANU PF party militias stepped up terror and violence, displacing 69 opposition supporters from their homes in October alone, according to the Zimbabwe Human Rights’ Forum (ZHRF).

 

The ZHRF, which is now itself under threat because of the repressive Non Government Organisations (NGO) Act, brings together 17 of the biggest human rights NGOs in Zimbabwe and regularly reports on political violence and human rights abuses in the country.

 

In its latest report released just before Christmas, the group said at least four people were tortured in October, either by state agents or militant supports of Robert Mugabe and his ZANU PF party. This brings to 169 the number of torture cases recorded since January 2004.

 

Four people suspected of being supporters of the country’s main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), were kidnapped during October and their whereabouts was still unknown at the time the ZHRF report was produced. The October abductions brought to 61 the number of politically motivated kidnappings since the beginning of 2004.

ZANU PF MILITIAS DENY OPPOSITION FOOD

 

Youth militias trained by the Mugabe regime who are helping the state’s Grain Marketing Board (GMB) distribute food at the resort town of Kariba, are demanding that hungry people produce ruling ZANU PF party membership cards before they are given food.

 

The youths, who were trained under the state’s national youth service training programme, were seconded by the GMB to help the parastatal distribute maize at a subsidized rate to starving people in the town on Zimbabwe’s border with Zambia.

 

“I have queued for mealie meal for the last four days without success,” said a father of six who admitted to being a member of the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party. “Each day the youths insist that only ZANU PF members get mealie meal,” added the father who did not want to be named for fear of further victimization.

 

More than three million Zimbabweans need food aid between now and the next harvest in March, despite earlier claims by Mugabe that the regime had produced enough food to feed itself – and indeed that there was a “bumper harvest” on the way.

SOLDIERS ATTACK MDC SUPPORTERS

 

It was reported in the Zimbabwean Standard that soldiers from the Zimbabwean army (which takes its orders from the Mugabe regime) beat up at least 10 opposition Movement For Democratic Change (MDC) supporters, seriously injuring one.

 

The attacks took place at the Sharenza Shopping Centre near Mayo in the Makoni North province during mid December.

 

The soldiers accused the MDC supporters of attending an “illegal” rally.  According to Elton Mangoma, the aspiring MDC candidate for this constituency in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the matter was reported to the police but (typically) no arrests were made.

 

Mangoma said an MDC activist, Elias Sithole, was seriously injured after being assaulted by the soldiers, who insisted he take them to his home where they found MDC party membership cards and T-shirts. 

 

“They forced Sithole to wear all the T-shirts and force-marched him to the shops where they made him swim in a small pond with dirty water while chanting ZANU PF slogans.  They kicked him until he could not defend himself and left him for dead,” said Mangoma. 

 

It is understood that Sithole was taken first to the Macheke hospital and then transferred to a hospital in Harare for treatment.

POLICE DISRUPT PRIMARY ELECTIONS

 

The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party’s primary elections set for the Marondera constituency had to be abandoned just before Christmas after young thugs from the ruling ZANU PF party started beating delegates who had assembled for the meeting.  

 

Two huts belonging to the MDC youth district chairperson, Tapfumanevi Maketo, were burnt down while the parents of the MDC’s organising secretary, Edward Dzeka, were assaulted for hiding their son from the mob.

 

The drama began after the police moved in to block the meeting, alleging ZANU PF had booked the hall before the MDC. This was despite the fact that the police had initially granted permission to the opposition to hold the meeting.

 

The police also insisted on taking down the names of all the delegates to the meeting, a tactic said to be used to intimidate people in the rural areas.

 

It is alleged that the sitting (ZANU PF) member of parliament for the area, Brigadier Ambrose Mutinhiri, ordered the disruption of the MDC meeting.

OPPOSITION CRIES FOUL

 

Zimbabwe’s main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party has accused Robert Mugabe of rigging the 2005 elections even before a single vote has been cast.  According to MDC spokesman Paul Themba Nyathi, ZANU PF has achieved this by reducing the number of voting constituencies in the MDC strongholds. 

 

He said that the decision of the Delimitation Commission (whose members were hand-picked by Mugabe) to cut down constituencies in areas supporting the opposition party, while adding three new ones in ruling ZANU PF strongholds, was a part of a strategy to reduce his party’s chances of winning the ballot scheduled to take place in March.

 

The Delimitation Commission justified its proposals on the grounds of migration of voters.  In his response, Nyathi said: “It beats all logic that Harare, a city whose population has increased by 500 000 people according to census figures that were released in 2004, is supposed to have lost 50 000 voters”.   He added: “Where on earth under modern civilization do you see people migrating from an urban set-up environment to rural constituencies in such large proportions?”

 

The MDC spokesman cited the decision to reduce constituencies in MDC areas as further evidence of the regime’s unwillingness to uphold SADC electoral guidelines. He called on regional leaders to pressure Mugabe and ZANU PF to abide by the regional standards for democratic polls.

7.3              (Government to) establish impartial, all-inclusive, competent and accountable national electoral bodies staffed by qualified personnel, as well as competent legal entities including effective constitutional courts to arbitrate in the event of disputes arising from the conduct of elections.

 

 

 

 

On the basis of these and numerous other daily breaches of the SADC Protocol on Democratic Elections, it can be seen that the Mugabe regime has yet to show any serious intent to change its ways or to begin to prepare for anything resembling fair and free elections.  In fact, a new raft of oppressive legislation rushed through Parliament recently will result in a situation even worse than that which prevailed during the Parliamentary Elections of 2000 and Presidential Election of 2002, both of which were heavily criticized by observer missions from the international community.

 

And the March Parliamentary Elections are now a matter of weeks away …..

TOP MARKS FOR MUZZLING THE PRESS

 

Zimbabwe is rated among the three countries in the world with the worst media laws meant to stifle press freedom, according to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN).

 

In its press freedom report for 2004, the Paris-based WAN said the worst attempts to create legal barriers for journalists were seen in the Islamic republic of Iran, the former Soviet Union republic of Uzbekistan and crisis-torn Zimbabwe.

 

The WAN report reads in part: “Serious limitations of freedom of expression in the form of national security laws, terrorism acts and criminal defamation laws have landed scores of journalists in prison and resigned many more to practising self-censorship.

 

“The most audacious attempts to create legal barriers to stifle the press can be seen in Uzbekistan, Iran and Zimbabwe.”

 

In the last few days Robert Mugabe has signed into law amendments to the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), which add further controls and criminal sanctions to an already draconian piece of legislation. Journalists can now be jailed for two years for practising without a licence, while media companies can be closed and have assets seized for operating without being registered.

 

Hundreds of journalists have been arrested in the past two years while three newspapers, including the country’s only independent and biggest circulating daily newspaper, the Daily News, were shut down for breaching the harsh Press laws.

STATE MEDIA PROPAGATING HATRED

 

The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings (ZBH), the country’s sole broadcaster, together with the dominant government controlled newspaper group, Zimpapers, continue to engage in a disinformation campaign in which they regularly propagate hatred and disaffection against government critics.

 

Dumisani Gandhi, an advocacy officer with the Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe (MMPZ) spoke recently at a human rights workshop in Gweru.  Gandhi said that according to MMPZ findings, the prime targets of hate speech were the main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), civic groups, whites and individuals including journalists.  He added that such language could be a recipe for civil strife in the highly polarized political environment of Zimbabwe.

 

Gandhi cited recent examples of hate speech by Nathaniel Manheru, the Herald columnist, who described the MDC as a “many headed monster whose every limb carries its patenting scales and trait of treachery”.  The same columnist described the outspoken Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube as “the man who wore a face filled with hate but not divine hate, but of a common villager struck with spiteful jealousy … and when raw hate darts out it is seasoned with a bit (of) raw, uncooked saliva…The best medicine is to ignore the idiot, to leave him to wallow in his un-catholic hate …”

MILITIA BROUGHT IN AHEAD OF ELECTION

 

The regime of Robert Mugabe plans to incorporate more than

20 000 of its controversial youth militias into the police force ahead of March’s parliamentary election.

 

The recruitment of the youths, accused by churches and human rights groups of committing violence and terrorizing opponents of the ruling ZANU PF party, will double up police manpower which at present stands at about 21 000 officers.  According to police sources the recruitment is due to be completed by the end of February, just ahead of the poll.

 

“Initially there were concerns of indiscipline among untrained reserves but the highest authorities sanctioned the move (because) we are racing against time.  It takes six months to train a regular policeman and the election is just around the corner,” said a senior police officer who did not want to be named.

 

On September 5 2003, Solidarity Peace Trust published a detailed report entitled “Shaping youths in a truly Zimbabwean manner”.  In it they carefully chronicled some of the abuses perpetrated by the youth militia on perceived opponents of ZANU PF and the abuses to which youths in training, especially young girls, were subjected by the national youth service training programme.  The report noted that the youths were subjected to political indoctrination and were brutalized by violence.

 

The report states that “Conditions in the training camps are confirmed to be severe; particularly in the first year of implementation, rampant sexual activity among youth militia themselves was widely reported. Female youth militia have reported rape on a systematic basis in some camps, involving girls as young as 11 years of age.

 

“Youth militia pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections including HIV, have been reported as resulting from youth militia training experiences from a variety of sources in the last two years.  Camp instructors are commonly implicated as among the rapists.”

ZANU PF BUYS INFLUENCE WITH CHIEFS

 

In a bid to secure their compliance with the ruling party, the ZANU PF regime of Robert Mugabe has purchased brand new Mazda B 1800 trucks for Zimbabwe’s traditional leaders, the chiefs.  Now the regime plans to give them wide ranging legal powers, a move seen as giving them more power to punish those who support the opposition.

 

In October last year Local Government minister Ignatius Chombo announced the upgrading of chiefs’ status, giving them powers to preside over cases with a monetary value up to Z$ 100 million.  (Roughly equivalent to USD 17,400 or Rand 105,000 – a huge sum in impoverished rural Zimbabwe)

 

In reporting on these moves SW Radio Africa, an independent news service which broadcasts from London, commented: “With elections just around the corner the ruling party is going all out to make them (the chiefs) not only comfortable but powerful.”  Their report cited the example of Chief Tedious Matambanashe from the Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe district of Mashonaland East, who banished a family of eight because of reports they were opposition supporters.

 

The same incident was reported in the Zimbabwe Independent (January 7).  And there have been numerous other recent examples of ZANU PF using the traditional leaders to intimidate the rural population so that they are too afraid to support the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party.

 

Previous elections have been punctuated with promises of telephone lines, cell phones and a secretary each for the chiefs, while tarred roads were laid down to their homesteads.
