The Dewa Mavhinga led Human Rights Watch for the Southern African Region has come under fire for failing to speak out on ZANU PF members and business in general that has fallen victim of the illegal ZCTU three day stay away which has turned violent.

A number of unsuspecting ZANU PF members were assaulted in Bulawayo while going on with their daily routines, with some of the incidences being captured by Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP).

“As expected of the partisan Human Rights defenders, especially HRW, has remained quite while ZANU PF members are being assaulted left right centre. Police stations and ZANU PF vehicles have been burnt and they are all quite.

“You are left thinking that they (HRW) are sponsoring the mayhem and waiting to capture the response of the state as part of their regime change agenda,” said Jackson Shumba a political commentator based in Harare.

ZPP information desk captured two separate incidences at which suspected ZANU PF members were assaulted.

Writing on its twitter handle ZPP wrote “after looting goods in Lobengula, a man wearing ZANU PF regalia was manhandled, insulted and stripped naked. His shirt was burnt.”

ZPP further tweeted that “a citizen in Byo was assaulted by a gang of youths deterring motorists and citizens from getting into town. The citizen was taking pictures of what was happening when he was manhandled harassed and accused of being a ZANU PF supporter.”
