Dzamara was abducted by suspected state security agents on March 9 ,2015.He has not been found since that time.

“As citizens we have finally found each other such that we will never let each other down.We will never let another citizen disappear like what happened to Itayi Dzamara.

Zimbabwe Citizens’ Initiative is a converge of Zimbabweans dotted across the globe.
“We have resolved to promote the participation of citizens in democratic processes. We seek to expose gross violation of human rights, political violence and intimidation.

Elections have been characterised by gross irregularities in the past. We are gravely concerned about the recent reports of violence and intimidation ahead of the 2018 polls. Our thrust is to fight for democracy and good governance,” read part of the Zimbabwe Citizens’ Initiative statement.
