Talent Rusere- Fact Check
25 December 2024
A ZANU PF activist, who claims he exposed election rigging in Mozambique, has recently gone on to accuse the Botswana Government for arresting him in Plumtree.

Mr Talent Rusere who calls self a professor, also alleges he is a lawyer and or an advocate such that he leads a group of lawyers called the SAHRF: ‘Southern African Human Rights Forum’
SAHRF FACT CHECKS-
- Talent Rusere is not a lawyer of any kind: in SA or any other country, he is not registered on any regulatory body. The Law Societies of SA and Zim have no listing of his name.
- He is no professor of any kind; there’s no university anywhere that attests for him, and is no doctorate holder of any discipline; there is no published paper by him.
- His website sahrf.org.za/cgi-sys/suspen… is suspended barely 50 days after creation.
- The SAHRF website was created on the day Mozambique election results were expected, a day after voting on the 10th October 2024 (see registration records). Is that not too much of a coincidence?
- Rusere claims to be representing a body of lawyers when he is a one man as all his online videos show as of Nov 2024.
- An uncontested published profile on a news website states that he just a musician and an activist.
- His online conversations for 7 years strongly point to the operations of a Zim Govt agent for purposes of disinformation. He is attested to have worked for a notorious election rigging mafia led by one Edith Chibamu, who assisted Mnangagwa with online campaigns to cover up violence during the 2018 elections.
- Not only is the date of web registration that is suspicious but the manner in which Rusere swiftly SHUT his WhatsApp group a day after his sudden-fame SABC interview in Oct, without any explanation, just after announcing a small figure of 296,000 votes which is not reported by any researcher anywhere in or out of Zimbabwe. Conventional calculations show that the magnitude of vote rigging in Mozambique’s elections ran into several millions of votes, way above the fictitious one that Rusere proposes.
- Talent Rusere is clearly not who he says he is, and the communities of SADC countries are advised to exercise caution with him in their conversations. – ZimEye Fact Checkers
