Zimbabweans have begun signing a petition to President Emmerson Mnangagwa to free Sekuru Elliot who was allegedly sentenced to 57 years for unknowingly receiving stolen cattle.

Sekuru Elliot has already served seven years.

According to the petition circulating on social media, Zimbabweans want Mnangagwa to review Sekuru Elliot’s case since they believe he did not commit a crime.

Sekuru Elliot was sentenced to 57 years in prison for unknowingly receiving stolen cattle. He has so far served 7 years. We as the Zimbabwean community believe 57 years was a harsh sentence for this level of crime and we are now appealing to the President of Zimbabwe to give Sekuru Elliot a review of his case.

May we be a forgiving nation.
