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 are deeply concerned by reports that Tapfumanei Masaya of Mabvuku, was abducted on Saturday, 11 November 2023." Time Stamp: 2:11 pm 13/11/2023
This was posted before the tragic news was released. But the message is clear - Zanu PF have no place in Zimbabwe, have no place in politics and have no place in Parliament - RESIGN NOW - all of you Zanu PF psychopaths!
BREAKING: Tapfumanei Masaya has been reportedly been killed. #JusticeForMasaya @ProtectHRDs

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.

Illegal Election 2023

Update: 17th November 2023:
EU Full Election Report and separate Executive summary - available to view and download. Plus additional commentaries from other writers in no particular order. We have added additional emphasis to certain items but that is all - read the election horror stories for yourself. A "government of Occupation" is not a Legitimate Government of Zimbabwe - the {long suffering} Electorate have been completely disenfranchised {of their vote}. Also read Brighton Mutebuka's Twitter/'X' commentaries - reproduced here with a little additional emphasis.
Matters are now coming to a crisis point. The SADC Mission Final Report is out, with many "recommendations" - but Zanu PF are deaf, dumb and blind to such matters. One only has to endure the crass toadying of the {ex- mental health nurse} - Nasty {mouth} Nick 'Mangwano' - to see how the faithful acolytes {and paid apologists} of the party propaganda machine behave in the face of blatant illegalities.
It is however, a combined problem related to the {debased} Constitution {and its amendments}, The Electoral Acts { as gerrymandered by Zanu PF illegal MP's, Illegal Ministers, and the Illegal 'President' {self} elected Ed Mnangagwa} - Psychopath-in-Chief - there can be no other descriptor! Gukurahundi, the looting of the Congo, and fired {quite correctly} by Mugabe - ""Robert Mugabe has fired his vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, for showing traits of "disloyalty, disrespect and deceitfulness".""
So let us focus on the conclusions of SADC and look at the following items for a 'way out' of this Zanu PF {power crazed lunatics} by reviewing the following {thank you to VERITAS ZIM NET}
- The Constitution {or what is left of it}
- The {constantly amended} Electoral Acts
- The Financial incentives paid to the Judiciary proir to August 2023
- The overtly Partisan ZEC {and their Zanu PF puppet chair}
- and the SADC Final Report itself
Now better scholars than I need to sift through these laws, constitution, etc and to develop a plan - a strategy to remove Zanu PF from its INFESTATION of the 'governmental activities' within Zimbabwe. Zanu PF is a Mafia, a cancer upon the Republic of Zimbabwe. As a Republic they are the main problem. They are a 'Criminal Enterprise' masquerading as a political party. Supported by all the corrupted organs of government - from the bent police, to the Army Generals and the enriched {to the tune of $500,000 "soft loans"} senior Judiciary!
"The authorities have weaponized the criminal justice system against the ruling party’s political opponents. CCC politicians have been held in prolonged pre-trial detention or convicted on baseless, seemingly politically motivated charges." Human Rights Watch August 2023 - "Crush them like Lice" Ed M's rant and psychosis screams out to his minions.
"Crucial for addressing electoral rights is an independent and impartial national election commission. However, there are serious concerns about the independence, composition, and conduct of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC). Past elections were widely perceived as problematic largely because the ZEC has been closely aligned with the interests of the ruling party. The management of the ZEC secretariat remains in the hands of people widely believed to be ZANU-PF sympathizers. These individuals, many of whom have ties to the country’s military, police, and intelligence services, supervised previous deeply flawed electoral processes." From the same report by Human Rights Watch as above.
"Altogether deliberate and targeted Electoral Commission ‘ineptitude’ – illegalities and technicalities, plus bribes and threats of violence – marked the election. These abuses were called out by observers, notably those of the Southern African Development Community led by former Zambian Vice President, Dr Nevers Mumba, who came under sustained abuse for his findings and critical judgement that the election had not been free and fair." One of the excellent concluding paragraphs by Stephen Chan in the African Arguments Organisation.
Cholera and Typhoid

Its that time of year again, as the weather gets warmer, and Zimbabwe's failed sewage systems and water supplies are yet again, non-functioning and 'tainted'
- the only beneficiaries are the damn MOSQUITOES!
Irrespective of the excuses from Zanu PF {not enough vaccine etc} however, to be fair, it has been reported that they feel its due to the water supply problems and broken sewage pipes. But these are matters that have been under the purview of the said "government" for the last 43 YEARS. Notwithstanding the stolen election form 23-24th August 2023, nothing will be done, until the greedy, callous, sadistic, heartless "elite" who claim to be the "government" have FINISHED LOOTING!
We have been here before! But with all things that Zanu PF have a hand-in, there is an obvious "Political Element" - Thus Lock-downs and Limits on Meetings! Just when the illegal regime has rigged the latest elections {see our reporting here https://zexit.org/zexit/petition-delivery-15th-sept-2023; and https://zexit.org/zexit/zimbabwe-fails-the-electorate
Please read the article {at the end of this report} which appeared in the UK Telegraph on the 9th October 2023 and well written by Verity Bowman
As a reported, Verity has covered most "sides" to this tragic and avoidable story. There is even a preposterous claim by the WHO that this is somehow due to "Climate Change" - BUT of course it's the Mosquitoes - admittedly the warmer the better for them, except if we have another ice-age {climate change too}.
But as we as ZHRO have tried to cover, it's down to SANITATION, {to be fair the government has cited that too - its just their "solutions that are wrong} and we proposed the link and the solution in November 2018 to the DIFD {now part of the FCDO}. Our Proposal paper is available to view and download here. It is still current and the well researched linkage between sanitation and Cholera/Typhoid is as ever relevant - see for yourself by clicking HERE.
Mutapa Slush Fund

"The decision by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to rename the Zimbabwe Sovereign Wealth Fund into Mutapa Investment Fund has been described as an astonishing creation of a launchpad for large scale looting of Zimbabwe’s natural resources and economic wealth."
"Mnangagwa, on 19 September, through the Statutory Instrument 156 of 2023 (SI 156/2023), invoked his Presidential Powers to temporarily amend the investment laws to rename and upgrade the old Sovereign Wealth Fund and transfer the shares in the 20 State-owned enterprises to the Mutapa Fund."
"The President exempted the Mutapa Investment Fund from the provisions of the Procurement Act. This means that the funds held under the Mutapa Investment Fund can be spent without due procedure and without public scrutiny."
"Human rights lawyer Siphosami Malunga said: “The unconstitutional Mutapa Investment Fund in Zimbabwe, is not a Sovereign Wealth Fund but an un-transparent, unaccountable, personalised funnel for appropriation and privatisation of Zimbabwe’s entire public wealth and resources and the greatest national heist since Cecil John Rhodes.”"
"He literally transferred the government shareholding in a large block of 20 State-owned companies to the Mutapa Investment Fund, the upgraded and renamed Sovereign Wealth Fund."
Other commentaries:
Tendai Biti; describing it as an unconstitutional capture of the country’s funds. Biti made the remarks in an interview with Heart & Soul TV, an Alpha Media Holdings online TV and radio station.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa on September 19 gazetted Statutory Instrument (SI) 156 of 2023, which changed the name of the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe to Mutapa Investment Fund. The SI brought 20 State-owned entities under one roof.
“The instrument does not meet the test of the 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.”
FORMER Finance minister Tendai Biti yesterday tore into the Mutapa Investment Fund, describing it as an unconstitutional capture of the country’s funds. Biti made the remarks in an interview with Heart & Soul TV, an Alpha Media Holdings online TV and radio station.
What Can We Do?
First we can edit the new Wiki Page on the Mutapa Fund at this link EDIT WIKI WEB PAGE WITH THE REALITY
Next; Parliamentary debate. Then protest/petition IMF/World Bank/UN regarding fraud risks.
