The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has withdrawn murder charges against two Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) leaders, Obert Masaraure (President) and Robson Chere (Secretary-General), who were accused of assaulting and murdering their colleague, Roy Issa, eight years ago.
In a statement, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) Masaraure and Chere had been charged with the murder of Roy Issa, allegedly occurring on June 11, 2016, during a drinking session in Harare.
The two, along with four accomplices, were accused of assaulting Issa, leading to his death. Prosecutors claimed they later attempted to cover up the crime by falsely stating that Issa fell from a hotel balcony.
Issa’s body, prosecutors said, was found lying some six metres away from Jameson Hotel along Park Street in Harare.
The NPA informed Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi that law enforcement officers had been investigating the case for eight years, but could not yet proceed with charges. This delay led to the withdrawal of charges against both men.
Masaraure and Chere had been appearing in court since 2022 after their arrests by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP). They were out on bail during the court proceedings.
The two union leaders were represented by prominent lawyers Doug Coltart and Beatrice Mtetwa from Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
Prosecutors acknowledged that continuing to hold Masaraure on remand and requiring him to appear in court while investigations were still ongoing was no longer justifiable.
They made a similar concession earlier when charges were withdrawn against Chere in October 2024.
On November 27, 2024, prosecutors withdrew murder charges against Masaraure.

The NPA dropped murder charges against ARTUZ leaders Obert Masaraure and Robson Chere for the death of Roy Issa eight years ago. Prosecutors said the two, along with four others, attacked Issa, who later died. They were accused of trying to cover it up. The NPA had been investigating the case for eight years but couldn't proceed with charges. Masaraure and Chere have been in court since 2022 and are now out on bail. Their lawyers argued that the charges should be dropped since the investigation took so long. Charges against Chere were withdrawn in 2024, and against Masaraure in 2024.

NPA Withdraws Murder Charges Against ARTUZ Leaders After Eight-Year Investigation

A Zimbabwean court on Monday, November 18, ordered the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to return electronic gadgets, including mobile phones and laptops, that had been unlawfully confiscated from three prominent pro-democracy campaigners.
According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), the three pro-democracy campaigners namely Namatai Kwekweza, Robson Chere and Samuel Gwenzi were on Wednesday 31 July 2024 seized from a plane in Harare in July and tortured before being prosecuted on charges of disorderly conduct in a public place.
They had boarded at Robert Mugabe International Airport in Harare, while on their way to attend a conference in Victoria Falls. Said ZLHR:
<blockquote>
Kwekweza, the leader of WeLead Trust, Chere, the Secretary-General of Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe and Gwenzi, a former Councillor for Ward 5 in Harare, were charged with disorderly conduct in a public place as defined in section 41(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act and accused of allegedly participating in an unsanctioned demonstration reportedly held at Harare Magistrates Court in June, where they protested against the detention of Citizens Coalition for Change political party leader Jameson Timba and some of the opposition party members and demanding their release from prison.
The trio, who are out of prison custody on bail and are represented by Jeremiah Bamu, Tinashe Chinopfukutwa and Kelvin Kabaya of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, recently filed an application at Harare Magistrates Court, where they asked the court to order ZRP to release their mobile phone handsets and laptops, arguing that their electronic gadgets were being unlawfully held by ZRP as according to prosecutors, the seized devices, were not required to be used during their trial.
On Monday 18 November 2024, a Harare Magistrate ordered ZRP to release and return Kwekweza, Chere and Gwenzi’s mobile phone handsets and laptops.
Kwekweza, Chere and Gwenzi together with Vusumuzi Moyo, Phillies Pikitayi, Dephine Gutsa, Simbarashe Blackson, Emmanuel Sitima and Last Chinodya, return to court on 9 December, where a ruling on their application for exception to the charges of disorderly conduct, will be handed down.

A court in Zimbabwe told the police to give back phones and computers taken from three activists. The activists were arrested after a protest. The activists asked for their things back, saying they didn't need them for the trial. The court agreed and said the police must return the items. The activists will find out in December if they will still be charged. The activists are out of jail now, but will have to go back to court soon.

Court Orders ZRP To Return Seized Gadgets Of Pro-Democracy Activists

Lawyers representing pro-democracy campaigners Robson Chere, Namatai Kwekweza, Samuel Gwenzi and Vusumuzi Moyo have accused the prosecution of employing delaying tactics to cause further suffering to their clients.
This was after the bail hearing proceedings of the four only started 20 minutes before the end of working hours on Monday.
Vusumuzi Moyo engaged a new lawyer who asked for the matter to be heard in the afternoon on Monday, and his bail application will now be heard on Wednesday.
However, lawyers representing Chere, Kwekweza and Gwenzi were ready to proceed in the morning.
One of their lawyers, Jeremiah Bamu, said they were not happy with how the state has been handling the case. Said Bamu (via <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/tortured-activist-chere-yet-to-be-treated-as-court-delays-bail-hearing/">ZimLive</a>):
<blockquote>
You will note that whenever we start these court proceedings, the prosecutors will take endless hours rumbling over worthless submissions to delay time.
They only start bail proceedings when we have less than 30 minutes left which is a delaying tactic; they take this as a game.
They simply want to prolong the suffering of the applicants.
</blockquote>
Appearing for the state, Anesu Chirenje opposed bail and called the investigating officer who said the three should remain in custody. Said Chirenje:
<blockquote>
The accused persons have interests outside the country and we are afraid that they will flee from this country’s jurisdiction. Chere has other pending cases before the court.
We have not yet verified the addresses of the accused person… You will note that Kwekweza was in Germany recently; so, she has interests outside Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Chere, who was allegedly brutally assaulted and tortured following the activists’ abduction at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on Wednesday, has yet to receive any medical treatment for the injuries sustained during the assault, even after being handed over to the police.
The bail hearing continues this Tuesday.

Lawyers are saying that the government is purposely causing delays in court to make the pro-democracy campaigners suffer more. Some of the activists had their bail hearing start very late in the day, and the lawyers believe the prosecution is playing games by prolonging the process. The state is opposing bail, saying the activists have connections outside the country and may run away. One of the activists, Chere, was badly hurt during an abduction but has not received medical help yet. The bail hearing is still ongoing.

Lawyers Accuse State Of Delaying Tactics To Further Torment Pro-Democracy Campaigners

The lawyers representing four pro-democracy activists arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport last Wednesday have described the horrific mistreatment their clients endured at the hands of state security agents.
Namatai Kwekweza, the recipient of the prestigious Kofi Annan NextGen Democracy Prize in 2023, Robson Chere, Samuel Gwenzi, and Vusumuzi Moyo were dragged out from a plane bound for Victoria Falls, and reportedly tortured while being held incommunicado for hours.
The four pro-democracy activists appeared before the Harare Magistrate Court on Friday, facing charges of disorderly conduct.
They were accused of involvement in a demonstration protesting the detention of Jameson Timba, a leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) faction.
As reported by <a href="https://cite.org.zw/lawyers-detail-brutal-treatment-of-pro-democracy-campaigners/">CITE</a>, during the court proceedings, the activists’ lawyers – Jeremiah Bhamu, Tinashe Chinopfukutwa, Roseline Hanzi, and Charles Kwaramba from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) – described the systematic assault their clients had endured.
One of the activists, Kwekweza, was subjected to particularly cruel treatment. Fully aware of her recent dental procedure, one of her assailants deliberately shoved a shoe and metal bar into her mouth, inflicting excruciating pain.
She was also threatened with further violence if she refused to cooperate. Her phone, laptop, and passport were also seized.
The lawyers said Kwekweza was not even in Zimbabwe when the alleged crime was committed at the Harare Magistrate Court on June 27, 2024.
Moyo who is said to be a sound engineer for a prominent musician was also beaten up.
Chere, the secretary general of the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ), was allegedly beaten with an iron bar, leaving him with bloodshot eyes for two days. His phone was also used to record the assault.
Chere’s ordeal continued with waterboarding, and his dreadlocks were forcibly cut off.
His lawyers detailed how the assailants threatened to kill him or rape his wife if any demonstrations took place ahead of the SADC Summit. They also made chilling threats against his family.
Harare councillor Samuel Gwenzi was allegedly struck with open palms and iron bars, and ordered to chant ZANU-PF slogans and declare his Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party a “Western puppet party.”
Gwenzi’s captors even threatened to harm his children. His phone was also seized, and he was subjected to further beatings.
The assailants additionally threatened to kill other opposition leaders, including Gift Ostallos Siziba and Takudzwa Ngadziore, if they planned any protests.

Pro-Democracy Activists Describe Brutal Mistreatment By State Agents

Namatai Kwekweza, the recipient of the prestigious Kofi Annan NextGen Democracy Prize in 2023, along with three other Zimbabwean activists – Robson Chere, Samuel Gwenzi, and Vusumuzi Moyo – have been remanded in custody after being arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on Wednesday.
The four activists were dragged out from a plane at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on Wednesday and arrested by state security agents.
They have been charged with disorderly conduct and were brought before the Harare Magistrates Court on Friday.
Magistrate Ruth Moyo has ordered the activists to remain in custody until their bail application is heard on Monday, August 5th.
The prosecution has indicated that it needs to call the investigating officer and file written submissions opposing bail. Their lawyer, Tinashe Chinopfukutwa said:
<blockquote>
It’s been alleged that they were part of alleged demonstrators who demonstrated at this courtroom premise on the 27th of June 2024.
We laid several complaints regarding the manner in which our clients were arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe Airport, in relation to the torture, which they were subjected to before surrendering to the police officers.
The prosecution made an application that the bail application be postponed to Monday, which we were not agreeable to because we were ready to be heard on bail and we were on the court premises.
They were subjected to torture in the form of physical assault, as well as mental torture, and psychological torture and they also had their mobile phones forcibly taken away from them.
Robson Chere is injured, we notified the court that the doctor advised him that he requires immediate hospitalisation and medical attention.
</blockquote>
According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), one of the questions asked by their interrogators was: “What demonstrations were planned during the SADC Summit?”

The activists have to stay in jail until Monday for a bail hearing. They were treated badly by the police and one of them is hurt and needs medical help.

Namatai Kwekweza, Three Other Activists To Spend Weekend Behind Bars

The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has reiterated its demand for the restoration of teachers’ pre-October 2018 salaries of US$540.00.
In a letter dated 9 January 2022 addressed to the Public Service Commission (PSC), ARTUZ Secretary General Robson Chere said a meeting between the Commission and teacher unions should be convened to address teachers’ incapacitation. Wrote Chere:
<blockquote>
We write to remind you that the incapacitation of teachers remains unaddressed and is an obstacle to the efficient discharge of duties by teachers.
As the schools open this January of 2023, Our members have advised us to engage you on the need to restore the salaries to pre-October 2018 figures of USD $540.
As a Trade Union, we are also passionate about the development of the Education sector in our country and we are alarmed by the continued prejudice of learners who continue to suffer, as long as this matter remains unaddressed.
Even the development of our nation is being compromised as each year students with potential do not get the best from their teachers.
We implore your office to give this matter the urgency it deserves.
We reiterate our call for a legitimate conversation between yourselves and bona fide workers’ representatives from the education sector.
