Anyone Who Lies Against The State Must Go To Jail – Mathema On “Fake” Abductions

The home affairs minister has said the “nonsense” of people lying about the government must be countered with laws that will see perpetrators going to jail for such. In an interview with the Sunday Mail, Mathema said:

We need to craft laws to penalise anyone who makes false allegations against the Government. Anybody who lies against the State must go to jail. We can’t have a situation where anyone can say anything and walk scot-free. This nonsense must stop

May I caution the media, human rights lawyers and civic organisations against interfering with police investigations through issuing unverified statements, some of which border on obstructing the course of justice. My ministry is committed in ensuring that the police conduct comprehensive investigations with a view of clearly unearthing what happened in Dr Magombeyi’s case.

The government through various officials have dismissed Dr Magombeyi’s abduction after he was found on Thursday evening seemingly unharmed even though he is still being observed by other doctors. Minister Mathema joined the president and deputy defence minister Matemadanda in publicly denying the government’s involvement in Dr Magombeyi’s 5-day disappearance.

  1. Uyanya mdidi wako siyai nyika hamunyari kumbunyikadza vanhu vanenzara zanu matuzvi Matemadanda ofice yako yakasviba be careful uchamhanya home iz the best but uchausiya musha

  2. Mukanya magara brain hamuna gudo diki. Abductions should not be like sadza in our country. These abductions are questionable so let the police get to the bottom of it.
