Farirai Madhumbe | First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa continued with her public photo shoots, this time visiting Chikurubi Female Prison, where she handed out Christmas goodies to female prisoners and their children.
However, MDC National Excutive member Charlton Hwende asks if Mrs Mnangagwa also met Yvonne Musarurwa improsoned on trumped up charges. Asks Hwende on Facebook, “Madam First Lady I hope you also met Yvonne Musarurwa a political prisoner serving 20 years for being our MDC National Youth Deputy Organising Secretary she doesn’t need a coke and a 2 piecer but freedom and a new Zimbabwe”
The MDC has in the past warned that the country’s poor human rights record will not improve if the new Emmerson Mnangagwa-led government continues to apply the law selectively.
“The government should also release our supporters, Yvonne Musarurwa, Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere who are all rotting in prison for crimes which they did not committee.”
High Court judge, Chinembiri Bhunu sentenced the trio to 20 years in prison earlier this year for killing ZRP officer, Inspector Petros Mutedzi, in Harare’s Glen View arae during political clashes,” the party said in a statement.

Hwende is very childish. Was the First Lady looking for individual prisoners? Is Hwende trying to tell us that all other prisoners do not matter?
Mugabe used to sentence on his own. Our judges are not independent. If mugabe had managed to arrest President Mnangagwa he was going to rot in jail
With all the lawyers of repute that the MDC has, why has Yvonne stayed behind bars? Something is not right. If the First Lady intervenes, she will be quickly accused of interfering with the justice system. Maybe some in MDC wanted her out of the way? Donor funds could not be used to hire a good lawyer if she had “done nothing wrong”? It’s not fair for her at all.
