  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

The theme of succession, both of the State Presidency and the leadership of ZANU PF, increasingly bedevils all matters relating to the political stability of Zimbabwe and any form of transition to democracy. The constitutional issues related to the death (or infirmity) of the President have been dealt with in several reports by the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU). If ZANU PF is to select the nominee to replace Robert Mugabe, as the state constitution presently requires, several problems need to be considered. The ZANU PF nominee ought to be selected in terms of the ZANU PF constitution.

  • POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT March 2007
    POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT March 2007 10 May 2007 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: March 2007 OVERVIEW In instances reminiscent of September 20061, Zimbabwe again witnessed despicable levels of politically motivated violence perpetrated by state agents including the ZRP, CIO, alleged ZANU PF supporters and in some instances suspected MDC supporters. The Human Rights Forum notes that this report does not even cover the whole length and breadth of the violence that occurred in March. However, the report does show that the epitome of the violence was on 11 March. This was when opposition political party leaders, supporters, civil society activists, church leaders and scores of the general Zimbabwean public were brutalised and arrested for converging at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield for an intended prayer meeting. A number of the victims on that fateful day were incarcerated in police stations dotted across Harare. Furthermore, the ZRP shot and killed one Gift Tandari, NCA member, allegedly for being the ‘ring – leader’ in the running battles that ensued between the police and the people intending to have the prayer meeting. Following the violence on 11 March, an orgy of violence and a resurgence in abductions ensued, mainly perpetrated against human rights defenders, MDC supporters and leadership reportedly by state security agents. Another disturbing trend has been the abduction of MDC supporters by suspected CIO agents usually driving unmarked vehicles. The abductees in most instances have been dumped outside Harare after having been tortured. Cases of lawyers being physically and verbally assaulted whenever they visited their clients at police stations have been recorded.

The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum (also known as the “Human Rights Forum”) has been in existence since January 1998.

The Human Rights Forum has now expanded its objectives to assist victims of organised violence, using the following definition: “Organised violence” means the inter-human infliction of significant avoidable pain and suffering by an organised group according to a declared or implied strategy and/or system of ideas and attitudes.

  • Minister of Justice, Zimbabwe, Patrick Chinamasa Police Commissioner
    University of Ballarat Branch ABN 38 579 396 344 March 1st 2011 For attention: Minister of Justice, Zimbabwe, Patrick Chinamasa Police Commissioner Augustine Chihuri Home Affairs (police) Minister Kembo Mohadi State Security (CIO) Minister Didymus Mutasa Wayne Bvudzijena (police spokesman) Zimbabwean officials (various, in Australia) To whom it may concern, My organisation, the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), represents University staff in Australia. As President of the University of Ballarat Branch of the NTEU, I write in protest at the arrest, detention and torture of social justice activist and director of the Labor Law Centre at the University of Zimbabwe lecturer Munyaradzi Gwisai on February 19. My information is that Munyaradzi Gwisai and others have been charged with treason. Furthermore, a guilty verdict risks a sentence of death or life imprisonment. I understand that Munya, along with others detained with him, has been tortured during the process of interrogation. Confession under torture is an unacceptable breach of human and internationally recognised labor rights. Furthermore, it makes a mockery of the legal system in Zimbabwe and undermines fundamental rights to justice that all human beings should be entitled to. I understand that unions around the world and throughout Africa are moving to condemn recent actions taken with respect to Munyaradzi Gwisai and others arrested with him, including The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), an organisation that I hold in great regard. I call on you to reply to organisations and individuals and explain the actions you are undertaking or plan to undertake to secure the release, without delay, of Munyaradzi Gwisai and the other 45 labor activists arrested on February 19.

  • The Business-Security Complex and the Transition in Zimbabwe
    The Security-military Business Complex and the Transition in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe Institute Discussion Paper: June 2008 Abstract The military has over the last few years expanded and consolidated its position in both the politics and the economy of Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe army now virtually controls the major institutions of the state and formal policy making structures and processes of the country. Through their role in the Joint Operations Command- a group of the Army, Police, Prisons and the Central Intelligence Organisation heads which meets regularly to coordinate military and security affairs, serving and retired military and other security officials have come to direct all key national and governance issues rather than the cabinet. On the economic front, the military has increasingly played an important role in both directing production and ownership of the means of production. The military has become a significant part of the domestic bourgeoisie class and many top commanders have teamed up with politicians and businessmen to form political and economic interest groups venturing into lucrative business ventures, such as platinum and gold mining. The military is now deeply engrained in the in political and economical affairs of the country that whatever transitional deal has to be undertaken has to take into consideration the political and economic interests of this important constituency. The increased role of the army in politics since the late 1990s strongly suggests that the military leadership would be an important power broker whose opinion will have to be sought on any political deal to be concluded. Equally, all other parties would need to get the army to underwrite any agreement if it were to be effective and lasting.

    1 HH 225-13 HC 8095/12 EMMERSON MNANGAGWA versus ALPHA MEDIA HOLDINGS (PRIVATE) LIMITED and DUMISANI MULEYA HIGH COURT OF ZIMBABWE MATHONSI J HARARE, 17 July 2013 & 25 July 2013 E.W.W. Morris , for the excipients (defendant) L. Uriri , for the respondent (plaintiff) Exception MATHONSI J: The defendants (who are the excipients in this matter) have excepted to the plaintiff’s (who is respondent) declaration and I have, to decide whether that exception has merit or not. The plaintiff is a government Minister, being the Minister of Defence, and a senior member of a political party known as the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (Zanu PF) which is one of the ruling parties in the current government of national unity. The defendants are the owner of a publication which is said to enjoy wide circulation in Zimbabwe, namely the Zimbabwe Independent, and its editor. In the Zimbabwe Independent edition of 11 May 2012, an article was published in the front page under the title “Mnangagwa Ready to Rule”. The article reads in pertinent part thus: “Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa (pictured) has for the first time openly declared his interest in taking over from President Robert Mugabe as the leader of Zanu PF and the country, in remarks showing the succession battle in the party is intensifying. Mnangagwa told the Zimbabwe Independent last Friday at Heroes Acre during the burial of Zanu PF politburo member Edson Ncube he was ready to govern if given an opportunity. This virtually confirmed he is positioning himself to succeed Mugabe, remarks which could anger senior Zanu PF officials and fuel factionalism and internal power struggles ahead of the next elections.
