By Farai D Hove| The state owned Sunday Mail has published a claim saying the previously missing Dr Peter Magombeyi was not abducted at all. In their editorial, the broadsheet claimed the phone number which sent a threat to Dr Magombeyi two weeks before he went missing is not registered.

The report which ignored clear official evidence of ownership, by a Bindura based woman, Nakisai Petros, said in full: prior to the alleged abduction, Dr Magombeyi reportedly posted on his social media pages in August 2019 a screenshot of a threatening SMS on his phone reading: “Usazoti I did not warn you. Ramba uchiita nharo. Uchatorwa nechamupupuri. We are getting close now.”

It seems Dr Magombeyi never bothered to make a police report of the threatening messages, fuelling speculation that it could be part of a well-choreographed script.

The phone number which purportedly sent the threats is not registered.

It is during these “threat days” that Dr Magombeyi called for a strike by junior doctors.

But it has since been revealed that Dr Magombeyi was actually in trouble with his Harare Central Hospital bosses for alleged absenteeism.
