By Own Correspondent- Temba Mliswa, Norton Member of Parliament has said President Emmerson Mnangagwa should set up a Commission to investigate the death of pro democracy activist, Itai Dzamara.

Mliswa said the issue of Dzamara was going nowhere hence the need to tackle it head-on

Said Mliswa:

“Human Rights violations must be dealt with. We need the issue of Itai Dzamara dealt with. Whether we like it or not, it’s a sticking issue. And there is no reason why the President cannot set up a commission of Inquiry to look into that the same way he did by setting up a commission of Inquiry to look into the August 1 situation.

Any human life lost is not good for Zimbabwe.”

Dzamara, who reportedly went missing at a barbershop near his home in Harare in 2015 was allegedly kidnapped by five men.

Former president Robert Mugabe is on record instructing the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the disappearance but to date nothing has materialised despite the country’s police force being ranked highly regionally and globally.

Pro democracy campaigners have accused the disapperance of Dzamara to the state, alleging that he was abducted by state security agents for staging protests calling on Mugabe to resign.
