Govt Yet To Implement Motlanthe Commission Recommendations On 1st August Violence A Year Later- Dutch Embassy Harare
The Dutch Embassy Harare has noted that Zimbabwe has not yet implemented the recommendations of the Montlante Commission on the 1st of August violence a year later.
The Kgalema Motlanthe headed Commission was instituted to investigate the August 1 shootings in which soldiers and police shot live ammunition at MDC protesters that had thronged into the streets over the July 31st elections. Protesters argued that the elections were being manipulated in favour of the ruling party and President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The Embassy tweeted:
#MothlanteReport on 1st August violence: “6 people died and 35 were injured as a result of actions by the military and the police.” Over 20 recommendations were made. One year on and many are yet to be implemented – including those on #prosecution & #accountability.
