My thoughts are with Takunda Mhuka tonight—sleeping in a cold prison cell because he had the courage to hold the oppressor to account. We must celebrate such courage. These are the heroes of our time. It shall be well. The night is darkest before the dawn. #FreeTakunda #NoToCAB3

It has been exactly 10 days since Takunda Mhuka was arrested. We stand in full solidarity with him... he is one of us and his struggle represents us all. We remain resolute in calling for his immediate release and will not rest until justice is served. #FreeTakundaMhuka

The arrest of a student activist Takunda Mhuka after he was allegedly ambushed by suspected ZANU PF thugs exposes a blatant double standard in Zimbabwe's justice system. Takunda Mhuka was denied bail for alleged malicious damage to property valued at just $10 USD. The court cited overused reasons.He was arrested after reporting that he was ambushed by suspected ZANU PF thugs at his workplace in Waterfalls. He went to the police as a victim, but in a shocking turn, he ended up in handcuffs. His real offence? He openly voiced opposition to CAB3 an exercise of freedom of expression guaranteed under Section 61 of Zimbabwe's Constitution. He will appear again at Mbare Magistrate Court on 24 April 2026. Meanwhile, Doug Coltart's phone was stolen, the act captured on camera by a journalist, yet the suspect remains at large. One then questions the justice system of Zimbabwe: a $10 allegation lands a young activist in remand, but a caught on camera theft from a lawyer yields no arrest. What about the phone that was stolen? Is a $10 allegation now a greater threat to public order than a caught on camera theft? The victim becomes the accused. Justice is not meant to be a weapon of selective persecution. #FreeTakundaMhuka #JusticeForTakunda @daddyhope @LynneStactia @DCPYouths @amnesty_zim @HStvNews @MacBelts @OpenParlyZw @DougColtart @weleadteam @zimsolidarity01 @NDWGZimbabwe @BandaMollyn @GwisaiMunya @263Chat @ZRP_Zim @ZBCNewsonline @Zinasuzim

PRESS STATEMENT By Senator Jameson Zvidzai Timba Convenor – Defend the Constitution Platform (DCP) Harare | [10 April, 2026] Executive Interference in Independent Commissions Must Be Rejected The purported reassignment of Ms Jessie Majome from the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to the Public Service Commission raises grave constitutional concerns. This action is not administrative. It is constitutional. The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission is an independent constitutional body, established under Chapter 12 of the Constitution, and protected from interference by any arm of the State. Its leadership cannot be reassigned at will. The Constitution is clear: A Commissioner may only be removed through a transparent tribunal process, grounded in law and due process. No such process has been presented. What is being described as a “reassignment” is, in substance, a removal without due process. This is unconstitutional. A Dangerous Precedent The timing of this action, coming shortly after the Commission raised concerns regarding the conduct of public hearings, is deeply troubling. It sends a message that: Speaking truth carries consequences Oversight institutions must align or be neutralised Constitutional bodies are subject to executive convenience This is not how a constitutional democracy functions. Our Position We therefore state the following: The reassignment is unconstitutional and invalid It represents executive encroachment into an independent Commission It undermines the integrity of all constitutional oversight bodies Our Demands We call for: The immediate reversal of this decision Full disclosure of the legal basis for this action Protection of all Commissioners from political interference The Broader Principle Independent Commissions are not extensions of the Executive. They are guardians of the Constitution. When they are weakened, the Constitution itself is weakened. Conclusion Zimbabwe cannot defend its Constitution while simultaneously eroding the institutions designed to protect it. This is not merely about one individual. It is about whether the Constitution still governs power — or power now governs the Constitution. #CitizensFirst #DefendTheConstitution @OpenParlyZw @LynneStactia @MacBelts @263Chat @HStvNews @daddyhope @NewsHawksLive @NewZimbabweCom @nytimes @BBCWorld @SABCNews @ZLHRLawyers @ProtectHRDs @euinzim @zhrc365 @SADC_News @UNHumanRights

Takunda was denied bail today after prolonged postponement of the ruling. He was victimized by ZANU PF thugs and the justice system is not sparing him either. We appreciate groups that have shown him support,he remains incacerated till 24 April next remand date. #NoToCAB3

As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us.~~ Thomas Sankara

🎙Tomorrow, 1900hrs, we are engaging in an online dialougue on our WhatsApp platform. Its a virtue to host @OMasaraure as we drive towards mapping a revolutionary political programm for the masses. The CAB3 remains a sham & we are opposed to it in toto. DONT MISS IT ,BE THERE!!

Hon @cmatewu said he'll vote NO to the Amendment Bill 3. Sekuru vangu mhofu @hwendec, what do you say ? #SayNoTo2030 #CAB3

The Takunda that I know📌 A dedicated young citizen and student leader in the fight for a better Zim. A firm believer in the potential of young people in transforming the status quo. #TakundaIsNotACriminal #FreeTakunda

JUST IN📌 Takunda Mhuka's bail ruling has been postponed to tomorrow 2pm. He must never have been arrested in the first place. Justice delayed is justice denied and we call upon all progressive forces to throng Mbare Mag Court tomorrow in solidarity. Takunda is not a criminal!

🇿🇼 Court Update: Takunda Mhuka's bail ruling did not proceed today because the magistrate is said to have had an urgent meeting and postponed all his matters to tomorrow. ➡️We continue to stand in solidarity with @Mhukatakunda and demand his freedom, as he is a victim of violence related to the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 of 2026. ➡️He was assaulted at his workspace after allegedly being visited by politically aligned men who claimed that Takunda was one of the young Zimbabweans who opposed the CAB3 during the public hearings. They sought to punish him by attacking him and destroying property around him. ➡️Upon reporting the incident, one of the identified politically aligned men claimed that Takunda had destroyed his property instead. ➡️This is clear evidence of a crafted move meant to silence young people and instill fear in them. ➡️Since last week, several young activists have reported receiving threats related to their participation in the CAB3 public hearings. ➡️We condemn selective justice and the violation of youth rights in Zimbabwe. #FreeTakundaMhuka @Saynotohumanri1 @OMasaraure @namataik_ @MakomboreroH @marko_muropa @Jesmunga @zppINFO @ZimRightsLIVE @amnesty_zim @ngadziore @MalemaZw @EmmanuelSitima7 @AnnahSande @MaryLawlorhrds @SASUnion @UN @UNHumanRights @HumanitarianPo1 @CrimeWatchZW @ropamakumire @youthdecidezim @DanaiDChirawu @africaIYP @africaIYP @OpenCouncilHRE @OpenSociety @NASEMFordFellow @FrontLineHRD

We salute Jesse Majome for sticking with the truth and principles. In a world where Zvigandanga splash millions for endorsement, you stood your ground and we expect this to continue. The forth Chimurenga is proud of you.

@nelsonchamisa 100% . We must stop them from extending that stolen mandate.

A STOLEN MANDATE… When a politician calls elections toxic and demands more time in office, it usually means they never won one.~nc

🔴 In unwavering solidarity with all Zimbabweans who were unjustly arrested, detained, or harassed during the Constitutional Amendment Bill No.3 public hearings. Among them is a young, Takunda Mhuka @Mhukatakunda , who was attacked by thugs claiming he attended the consultation not in support of the bill. They destroyed at his work space, and after reporting the incident, a politically aligned youth leader in Waterfalls falsely accused him of damage, leading to Takunda’s arrest. Today, Takunda appeared in court, and his bail application was postponed to 2 p.m. tomorrow. Will justice prevail? Will those responsible for assaulting and victimizing this young person face accountability? We continue to call on responsible authorities to immediately release Takunda and hold those who attacked him accountable. Such actions reinforce the perception that Zimbabwe’s courts are captured, punishing dissent in a country that claims to be democratic. We will not remain silent. The fight for justice and true democracy continues. #Democracy

ZANU PF simply wakes up and tells us that it’s going to choose lawyers for all property holders in the country. The Law Society is now seized with the matter. This kind of nepotism and corruption is disgusting and must be fought by all men and women of conscience.

His modus is simple. Steal money from the state and dole it to PR trolls so that they create a false image. And do that again. Capture a church. Pay its leaders off the payroll so that they can defend your nonsense. And do that again. Give every influencer a car. Push them into leading narratives in the spaces they occupy so that your image is cleaned up. And do that again. There’s just no way that thing can be anyone’s President. NEVER!

Injury for one is injury for all Solidarity is key at this juncture ##Free Mashasha # we won't be silenced by zanupf
