By Paul Nyathi First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa took a swipe at prison authorities and the Ministry In Charge of Prisons for the appalling conditions at the country’s prisons.
Mrs Mnangagwa who spent Christmas morning with female inmates at Chikurumbi Prison told the inmates that conditions in the prisons cannot be allowed to continue as they are, putting blame on the Ministry responsible for the substandard conditions in the facility.
The First Lady may have quickly forgotten that her husband Emmerson Mnangagwa who is now the President was until a month ago the Minister of Justice responsible for prisons. “I visited the places where you, sleep, bath and even eat and was shocked because the place are not fit for human habitation,” said the First Lady.
She promised the inmates in front of the prison authorities and Ministry officials who had accompanied that the conditions in the prison must be worked on and completed by end of January next year. Mrs Mnangagwa shared Christmas goodies with the 180 female inmates in the prison which also houses 15 children under the age of 12 who are staying with their mothers in the filthy conditions.

You have said nothing therel
Oh my word! There are still people on this planet with your kind of mindset!
The First Lady is very right because to get our Zimbabwe back on her feet we need the political willingness that will trigger public awareness leading to multi sector involvement in those identified areas; as prisons, hospitals etc. The problem with the Mugabes was that they simply did not care and it was getting worse. That’s why the situation is like this. We all feared for Zimbabwe under Mugabe. He was surely the living dead. Surly our First Lady Mrs Mnagagwa is on track.
Not everything requires resurces….some things require just mindset shift
We are reminded how the former first lady made vendors happy by telling the police not to harass them as they fended for their families. Few months later vendors were being chased away . This new first lady must be well initiated to avoid cheap politics of promising the moon. Cde Mnangagwa is not going to create resources from the air to meet the empty promises overnight. After all the economic problems we face today were the collective responsibility of the very ZANU PF government over the last 37 years. Not one Mugabe as perceived. The now first lady and her husband were very much in government over the 37 years. KKKKkkkkk.
“15 children under the age of 12” in a maximum security prison. Sad.
No one should be jailed in the first place, this is an evil European concept. People should just pay restitution
