Zimbabwe braces for return of ‘rogue’ deportee nationals from UK; Special taskforce deployed to sniff out opposition activists 

By Staff Reporter 


PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government is allegedly waiting in glee for the return of a group of deported nationals from the United Kingdom, which is linked to opposition politics ‘undermining’ the regime.

Sources told NewZimbabwe.com that there was a recent deployment of a special investigative team to UK tasked with scrutinizing the activities of certain individuals linked to opposition politics, particularly those accused of undermining the sovereignty of the country and advocating for crippling sanctions.

Ministry of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage sources have highlighted that this move is part of broader efforts to uphold the country’s laws and protect its democratic institutions.

“We are aware that some individuals deported from the UK have been politically active abroad, engaging in activities that are detrimental to Zimbabwe’s sovereignty.

“This includes spearheading campaigns inviting imposition of sanctions and disseminating false information to undermine the democratically elected government. Such actions cannot go unchallenged.

“We know such people as Sibongile Kadzima, Jenatry Muranganwa alias Chihota, Basil Kamombe, Greatman Makipa, Sandra Chidemo, Shepherd Yuda, Silvanos Mudzvova, Petty Ziramba, Nobukhosi Dube, Evelyn Chigaro, Jane Mundangepfupfu, Xoliso Sithole and Sakhile Ncube.

“Others include, Dickson Chikwizo, Vengai Mutsawu, Brian Chikukwa, Melody Magejo, Biggie Nyateka, Munyaradzi Zengeni, Mashama Petronella Mazise, Diana Machingauta, Darlington Mlambo, Pamela Magwizi Josephine Jenje and many more,” said the source.

“Our team in the UK has identified these through various strategies and we can confirm that these individuals have cases to answer.”

Government officials, who preferred to remain anonymous, maintain that the investigation will adhere to due process and target only those who violated Zimbabwean laws.

The revelation has reportedly drawn criticism from human rights activists, who fear the government’s actions may lead to political persecution.

“We will arrest them under Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act [Chapter 9:23] “ said the source privy to the operation.

Some deportees, who were merely exercising their right to free speech in democratic settings such as the UK, will soon find themselves in soup facing justice back home.

This sting operation has been previously executed, but this time around finds impetus courtesy of the recently promulgated Patriotic Act.
