via Baba Jukwa investigators worried by non-cooperation | The Zimbabwean 29 July 2014
Some people who the police Law and Order team investigating the Baba Jukwa case have called to give evidence are not forthcoming with information needed for prosecution, it has emerged.
Official media have quoted the police urging the individuals asked to give statements to cooperate with them.
“Police have urged officials being called in to assist with investigations in the Baba Jukwa saga to fully co-operate with them after it emerged that some were not forthcoming,” stated a report by the Herald, a daily government-controlled publication.
It was not immediately clear who the un-cooperating individuals were.
However, police last week called in Information minister, Jonathan Moyo, and Environment minister, Saviour Kasukuwere for questioning. After questioning, both ministers said everything went well.
It has emerged that the Baba Jukwa investigators also summoned two military figures, Lieutenant Colonel Kembo and Herbert Huruba, to give evidence as police vowed they would investigate everyone mentioned by Edmund Kudzayi, the Sunday Mail editor accused of treason and undermining the authority of the president.
Kudzayi and his brother, Phillip were arrested and have been given bail on stringent conditions.
The Sunday Mail editor claimed in court papers that he was introduced to Kasukuwere who later linked him with Moyo.
In turn, Moyo connected Kudzayi to the army where he was purportedly working to unmask Baba Jukwa, a Facebook character who caused shocks in Zanu (PF) during election time last year by exposing sensitive Zanu (PF) information.

Torture them. But thats what you do with common criminals? You torture inocent people until they confess to crimes they have not committed yet you let abviously criminal moyo n crew off the hook? This jukwa nonsense is a zanu project. To save what purpose only they know. However, our economy needs to be fixed. I don’t give a f…. who the jukwas are. I just want my life back. Zanu please !!?? Just go – please!!?

Where are these morons finding the time to chase after their own tails. Who cares about the identity of Baba Jukwa. If ZANU has nothing to hide why are they so obsessed with this witch hunt.
Jukwa was just a gossip site. The Jukwas were gossiping on Zanu/party issues. Since when has party gossip become a treasonable offence.
Corruption is the main devil destroying the economy. Arrest all those involved and not waste our time and money on Mahubwe.
Idiots.
Zanu poof tactics, divert people’s attention from the real bread and butter issues affecting their daily livelihood. Baba juku a zanu ploy to divert people’s minds from active political campaign prior to 2013, now as the economy has crushed to pre 2009 level make people take eyes off this clueless pathetic zanu administration by some fickle baba juku arrest, investigations involving high profile zanu poof politicians.When did Zim police start investigating via the media houses? In ZW people under investigation are placed in holding cells..not this non-event aimed at diverting attention fron zanu incapabilities and failed election campaign promises…this calls for another revolution or chimurenga.
thts wher the problem is in zim u cant say the truth we dont just know the meaning of human rights so if u arrest pple for gossiping then u are weak pasitsve kugadzirisa nyika nehuori muri bussy kusunga innocent pple tibvirei apo
Remember what happened to Robespierre in the 1790s revolution . My mouth is watering in anticipation !!!!!!!!
French guillotine worked overtime then
Pambere ne Baba Jukwa – pasi ne Jongwe !
Baba Jukwa ngu X onga solveki!
You would think that the way they are behaving if they unmask this Jukwa character all of a sudden there will be jobs. There will be no more power cuts. The potholes will disappear. The factories in Bulawayo will suddenly open.
Target every zimbabwean who is against Mugabe and the likes, myself included,you will very silence us. A dog is a dog, period. We will never allow ourselves to be ruled by headless chickens, dangling on a broken bridge.
