The state owned Herald newspaper has announced that it knows well that the 5 day missing Dr Peter Magombeyi was interviewed by the Voice Of America last night. Only two media houses obtained instant exclusive access to Dr Magombeyi just as he was “released” by his alleged abductors.
The coincidence of the two media houses, comes as evidence is revealed that the Voice Of America was captured by ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa. The following link reveals LIVE video footage showing the same VOA staff member who interrogated Dr Magombeyi last night, causing his arrest, announcing she is now doing social engineering work for Mnangagwa.

None of these 2 media houses pursued or bothered to investigate evidence of clearly written threats to abduct Dr Magombeyi contained in an SMS message, something that could easily be done by a High School student.
Meanwhile, below is the Herald article which evidently seeks to discredit evidence of torture against the doctor:
HERALD REPORTER:
HARARE medical doctor Peter Magombeyi who was reported missing on Sunday, was yesterday found at Nyabira, some 20km from the city centre.
Dr Magombeyi’s alleged abduction and disappearance sparked demonstrations with medical doctors downing tools demanding his release, but there were also questions on the truthfulness of the claim with indications that the act could have been staged.
Speaking to The Herald on his mobile phone last night, Dr Magombeyi said he was safe and sound.
“I’m safe and sound. I don’t have much to say but I’m in Nyabira, waiting for my colleagues to come and pick me up.”
He said he had a hazy recollection of what happened since he was allegedly kidnapped last weekend when alleged assailants took him.
“I only remember that I was kidnapped by three men in town and I do not remember what happened afterwards,” he said.
Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors’ Association (ZHDA) secretary general Dr Mthabisi Bhebhe also confirmed that Dr Magombeyi had been found.
“I have called him and he indicated he is safe and sound. I personally spoke to him. He is in bushy area somewhere but he is well,” he said.
An hour after The Herald called him, Dr Magombeyi confirmed that he was now in the company of his colleagues.
He also granted an interview to Voice of America’s Studio 7. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi last night said they were still to establish circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms that Dr Peter Magombeyi (26) who went missing on September 14, has been found by the police at Nyabira,” he said.
He added that Dr Magombeyi had been debriefed by the police and had access to his lawyers.
Asst Comm Nyathi said Dr Magombeyi had no physical injuries and was due to be examined by health authorities to ascertain any injuries he may have suffered during the ordeal.
News of Dr Magombeyi’s alleged abduction and disappearance last weekend spread wildly, with opposition and civil society blaming it on State agents.
There has been a series of such abductions lately, which have strongly been suspected to be either staged for publicity purposes or directed by some agents to besmirch the image of Zimbabwean Government ahead of regional and international forums such as Sadc summit and the forthcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting to be held in New York, United States.
However, a Harare Central Hospital internal memorandum dated September 16, 2019 and addressed to the chief executive officer by the human resources department, indicated that Dr Magombeyi bade farewell to his colleague and told him to lock up the door since he was going for an all-night prayer.
Anti-Government lobbyists and civil society are widely believed to be faking abductions and blaming the State to soil Zimbabwe’s image in the international community.
Further, the United States Embassy in Harare – a stone’s throw from where Dr Mugombeyi was found – is believed to be behind the so-called black ops and heightened anti-establishment agitation to maintain a hostile, hardline stance against Zimbabwe, inclusive of sanctions despite Harare’s best efforts under President Mnangagwa to reform and seek rapprochment with the global family of nations. – Herald
