A Zimbabwean medical doctor, Peter Magombeyi has said he is no longer feeling okay after watching a video of fellow Zimbabweans drowning in the Limpopo river while trying to cross to South Africa.
Eleven people reportedly drowned recently.
Dozens of Zimbabweans use undesignated entry points as they do not have work permits or passports, yet, the biting economy compels them to attempt the crocodile-infested Limpopo which is usually flooded during the rainy season. Watch the video below for more:

Commenting on the video, Dr Peter Magombeyi who made headlines in 2019 after he had been abducted by suspected state security agents, said:
<blockquote>
I am not feeling okay after watching the video of my fellow Zimbabweans drowning and being eaten by crocodiles in Limpopo river in an attempt to cross into SA. We have a CRISIS in Zimbabwe!
</blockquote>
His remarks were echoed by prominent journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono who baled the situation on the ruling ZANU PF which he said was ruining the Southern African country’s economy. Chin’ono said:
<blockquote>
I wonder how the ZANU-PF regime feels when it watches these videos of Zimbabweans dying trying to cross into South Africa, running away from failed ZANU-PF rule! Your own citizens being eaten alive by crocodiles, and you continue on the ruinous path of looting and plunder! WHY?
</blockquote>
Earlier this Thursday, the opposition MDC Alliance blamed the crisis at the Beitbridge border post on the ruling party saying the situation reflected a longstanding governance crisis in the country.

Justice Chiweshe To Preside Over Dr Magombeyi's Case Set For 4 PM Today

An opinion piece in The Zimbabwean has opined that the way the government responded to Dr Magombeyi’s abduction raises a few questions. The article reads in Part:
<blockquote>As much as Magombeyi has since been ‘found’, apparently dumped by his abductors some 40 kilometers outside the capital Harare, he is still undergoing the relevant intense medical examinations by both his own private and government doctors, under the supervision of his lawyers and the police.
However, there is absolutely no way of reaching a definitive conclusion without the alleged victim being interviewed by the police, and subsequent thorough investigations being carried out.
Without the alleged victim having been formally interviewed by the police, and no conclusive evidence having been availed, the government and its various mouthpieces have been issuing out rather troublesome and worrisome statements ever since the alleged abduction took place
It is one thing denying one’s involvement in a crime, but it is completely something else going full throttle trying to discredit the entire crime – well before any thorough investigations have even commenced.
If someone believed that they were being wrongly accused of, for instance, stealing from a bank, why then go all the way even questioning the authenticity of the theft itself without waiting for investigations to be completed?
Secondly, the fact that Magombeyi’s phone still had a usable battery after days of abduction should never surprise any right thinking person. To begin with, anyone who is abducted is abducted for a reason – and as such, if Magombeyi was abducted as a supposed ‘enemy of the state’, then his abductors would surely want to obtain as much information from him as possible in relation to his activities, contacts and communications – his phone being the best place to start.
Besides, his alleged abductors could have simply switched off his phone during the course of the abduction – as even his colleagues attested to the fact that he was unreachable. If my own phone’s battery longevity is to be taken into consideration, when switched off it can last for more than a week.
On the issue of Magombeyi’s ability or inability to remember only certain aspects of his alleged abduction, this is a matter that only doctors who are examining him can conclusively say – however, if he had been drugged by his abductors, surely would he not experience such memory lapses?  I am certain that those who have experienced heavy drinking in their lives would confirm that there are periods of blackouts – characterized by rememberance and non-rememberance of certain things that occurred whilst drunk – the most traumatic or emotionally-charged likely to be more readily remembered than others.
If the intention of the alleged abduction was to tarnish the human rights image of the government ahead of the crucial visit by the UN special Rappateure, and UNGA summit, then why release Magombeyi at the climax of this plot – when the issue was gaining the ‘desired’ global momentum – well before the UNGA summit commenced and the special Rappateure compiled his report?</blockquote>

WATCH: Matemadanda Takes A Jab At Dr Magombeyi's Abduction

Of late the government has dismissed Dr Magombeyi’s abduction and called it a fake abduction especially after he was found on Thursday evening seemingly unharmed. In response to the fake abductions accusations, one Twimbo unearthed a Facebook post from 15 March 2015 by Energy Mutodi.  Mutodi referred to Itayi Dzamara’s case as a fake abduction and also blamed the MDC for stagging the abduction to bad mouth the government. Mutodi also called the missing activists names in the post.

PICTURE: How Energy Mutodi Responded To Itayi Dzamara's Abduction In 2015

Before leaving for the United Nations summit in the US, the president addressed the nation and in his address issued a stern warning to supposed perpetrators of fake abductions. The President was responding to Dr Peter Magombeyi’s case which those in government and the ruling party have dismissed as a fake abduction.
The President said these “fake abductions” were acts of terrorism and there should be measures to stop them as they threatened and undermined the government’s efforts to better Zimbabwe:
<blockquote>While we are happy that a staffer at a local hospital who had been reported missing has now been found unharmed, Government is disturbed by the growing trend of politically motivated false abductions in the country which are calculated to put Government in negative light.
Such political trickery, which in fact amounts to terrorism, will not take our country forward. The State has a responsibility to ensure protection and safety for all citizens. New measures might have to be formulated to deal with this new threat and to severely punish those responsible for such subterfuges.</blockquote>

Fake Abductions Are Political Trickery, Which Is Terrorism And Should Be Thwarted - ED

The Zanu PF youth secretary Pupurai Togarepi has urged Dr Magombeyi to cooperate with law enforcement agents who are investigating his abduction case. Dr Magombeyi was allegedly abducted on Saturday evening last week and was <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/09/19/just-in-dr-magombeyi-has-been-found/">found near Nyabira on Thursday evening.</a> He has reportedly <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/09/20/dr-magombeyi-refusing-to-speak-to-authorities/">refused to speak to the authorities</a> ever since he was found.
Pupurai Togarepi speaking to ZimMorning Post said Magombeyi is a Christian and he told his housemates that he was going to church on that fateful Saturday, he should do the noble thing and speak to authorities:
<blockquote>We are happy that Dr Magombeyi was found safe and sound…There were reports that he advised his housemate that he was going to church and in that vein if he is a Christian his heart must be bleeding for the loss of lives at hospitals after doctors and nurses downed tools in solidarity with his so called abductions. May the good doctor do a noble thing and cooperate with the law enforcement agents.</blockquote>
Togarepi said Magombeyi must speak to the police so that the wheels of justice may get rolling. He also said the Dr was found with a clean shave and a charged cellphone near the vicinity of the US Embassy which in its insinuation takes a jab at the US Embassy having something to do with his abduction:
<blockquote>Dr Magombeyi had the audacity to give audience to media notably Studio 7 which is sponsored by the United States but he refuses to give the police information….He is a beneficiary of the government’s vibrant education policy which we trust that such products have wisdom.
I also note with concern that he was found with a clean shaven beard in Nyabira in the vicinity of the US Embassy, my understanding is when a person is abducted he cant have access to cosmetology let alone charging his cellphone</blockquote>

Do A Noble Thing And Cooperate With The Law Enforcement Agents - Togarepi To Dr Magombeyi

The opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa has issued a statement dismissing claims by the Government that there was a third hand behind the disappearance of members of the public. The statement comes when the acting president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, Dr Peter Magombeyi is still missing since 14 September.
Some analysts say that Magombeyi was abducted by state agents. They say that he had earlier received threats for leading doctors demonstrations over paltry salaries.
On the other hand, the state says that the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/09/17/full-text-sb-moyo-on-dr-magombeyas-abduction-3rd-force-soiling-govt-image/">timing of disappearances makes it possible that a third hand exists</a>. Below is the statement in full.
<blockquote>State-sanctioned murders and abductions: The facts
There is no doubt that the abductions and violence currently taking place are State-sanctioned. Below are some of the violent incidents and murders that have been committed, even while high profile meetings were taking place. The facts below put paid to statements by officials in Mnangagwa’s administration that the Zanu PF government’s hands are clean.
In light of the disappearance of the acting President of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, Dr. Peter Magombeyi, the State has sought to cast aspersions and blame other organizations, including the MDC. Yet Zimbabweans have suffered massive violence, abductions and murders at the hands of the State and Zanu PF.
The ED regime cannot claim that the following events were choreographed and that a Third Force was responsible.
1.August 1 violence
The Mnangagwa regime murdered six people while 35 were injured. The duplicitous Mothlante Commission, appointed by none other than Emmerson Mnangagwa himself, found the State to be culpable. The report specifically states that Sylvia Maphosa, Ishmael Kumire, Gavin Dean Charles, Jelous Chikandira, Challenge Tauro and Brian Zhuwawo died of gunshot wounds as a result of the actions of the military and the police.
The August 1 violence and murders were the handiwork of the State and not some purported Third Force.
2. January 2019 disturbances
In the aftermath of the January 2019 disturbances, some 9 people died at the hands of the State. The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, a chapter 14 independent Constitutional Commission, held the State to be liable for the deaths.
The ZHRC reports reads in part: “The findings reveal that in the aftermath of the 14th of January 2019 disturbances, armed and uniformed members of the Zimbabwe National Army and the Zimbabwe Republic Police instigated systematic torture…….In some instances it was also noted that those aligned to the Movement for Democratic Change were also specifically targeted for example Members of Parliament, Councillors and other active members. Torture was perpetrated through beating the men with baton sticks on their backs while they lay on the ground, including falanga.”
The January 2019 murders and violence therefore were perpetrated not by a Third Force but by the State.
3. Cephas Magura’s murder while a SADC summit was taking place
The Mnangagwa regime says it cannot be held liable for the violence currently taking place as the government cannot commit such dastardly acts during or ahead of crucial summits. Yet the facts confirm that Zanu PF has done it before.
In May 2012, while a SADC summit was in session in Luanda, Angola, Cephas Magura, the MDC chairperson for Ward 1 in Mudzi North was murdered by Zanu PF thugs at Chimukoko Business centre. President Tsvangirai, then the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, had to alert SADC leaders during the summit that one of the party’s supporters had been callously murdered by Zanu PF while the summit was in session.
We flew into the country from a SADC summit for Magura’s funeral and president Tsvangirai delivered a touching eulogy at Magura’s graveside at Botso village in Mudzi North.
Magura was brutally murdered by Zanu PF thugs during a high profile regional summit and this was no Third Force.
4. The abduction and assault of Hon. Nelson Chamisa at the Harare International airport 
Venue and timing of violence have never mattered to Zanu PF. On 18 May, 2007, Hon. Nelson Chamisa, then the MDC spokesperson, was seized and beaten at the Harare International airport in front of frightened travelers as he headed for a European Union parliamentary conference in Brussels, Belgium. Eight men with iron bars beat him to pulp, took his passport, bags and laptop before speeding off in two cars, one without a licence plate. Seven of his assailants wore suits and one was in an army vest.
Can someone tell us this was Third Force?
5.The brutal assault of President Morgan Tsvangirai and other leaders inside a police station
In May 2007, President Tsvangirai and other senior political and civic leaders were brutally asaulted inside Machipisa police station when they attended a Save Zimbabwe Prayer meeting in Highfield. Mr. Mnangagwa was one of the leaders of this government that perpetrated such heinous crimes inside a police station.
Can he tell us that it was a Third Force that was wearing police uniforms inside Machipisa police station in Highfield on that day?
6. The murder of Gift Tandare and the seizure of his body
In March 2007 during the Save Zimbabwe Campaign rally, I happened to be fleeing armed police who were indiscriminately shooting people and dispersing them from the prayer meeting on that ominous day in Highfield . Gift Tandare, an MDC activist was just ahead of me as we tried to escape the train of bullets. Suddenly he fell to the ground, dead. A few days later, on 17 March 2007, armed government agents seized Tandare’s body and coffin from Doves funeral parlour for a secret burial to prevent a public funeral. They took the body to Tandare’s rural village in Mount Darwin district, Mashonaland Central, and forced his parents to quietly bury him. Morticians were still working on Tandare’s body when it was seized.
Could this have been a Third Force?
7. The abduction and murder of Tonderai Ndira
In May 2008, State security agents pulled up at the Mabvuku home of MDC activist Tonderai Ndira and violently took him away, leaving his wife and children petrified. They identified themselves as State security agents. When Ndira’s body was discovered in Goromonzi, his face had been crushed, his left eye had been popped out, his tongue was missing and he had two holes, one just below his rib cage. His body was black with bruises.
The men who abducted him from his house and identified themselves as State security agents were driving a white Toyota single cab registration number 772-224.
Was this a Third Force? How come this purported Third Force is so powerful that none of its members is ever arrested?
8. The abduction of Jestina Mukoko
Jestina Mukoko is a renowned former broadcaster and now a human rights defender who runs the Zimbabwe Peace Project, a civic organization. Some 11 years ago, in December 2008, she was abducted from her home, tortured and held incommunicado for several weeks.
This was no Third Force. It was the Zanu PF government that had abducted her, in line with its unstinting behaviour to harass any dissenting voice in the country. Jestina later won her case in court and the government was ordered to compensate her.
It was government which compensated her for abduction and torture, not some amorphous Third Force.
9. The abduction and murder of Joshua Bakacheza
Bakacheza was a driver at the MDC. He was instructed on 25 June 2008 to assist Tonderai’s widow to shift to another residential area as she could not stomach remaining in the house from where her husband had been abducted.
Bakacheza was abducted on the same day in Msasa, Harare, together with another MDC activist, Tendai Chidziwo while assisting Ndira’s widow to shift from Mabvuku. They were stopped by armed gunmen and ordered to get into two unmarked vehicles. Chidziwo was later discovered alive in hospital. The decomposing body of Bakacheza was discovered late on Saturday, 5 July 2008 in a secluded bushy area on a farm in Beatrice, some 30 km out of Harare.
Was this the work of a Third Force?
Conclusion
During the time of the Gukurahundi atrocities in the 1980s, the State abducted and killed many people in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces. Some government sanctioned reports into these atrocities have never been made public. The Entumbane report is one such example.
Could the government be protecting a Third Force by failing to release such reports of heinous atrocities against innocent and defenceless citizens? If the Mnangagwa administration is really a New Dispensation, why is it still keeping the lid on these reports?
In 2000, Patrick Nabanyama, the election agent of the now MDC Treasurer-General, Hon. David Coltart, was abducted and his whereabouts remain unknown. Itai Dzamara remains missing. The so-called New Dispensation has not given the nation an update on how far investigations have gone.
It is trite to state that the State’s hand is conspicuous in all these murders and abductions that have taken place since 1980.The MDC is a legitimate political player in the country and throughout its 20 year-existence, the party has always been a victim and never a perpetrator of violence.
Zanu PF must explain the current murders and enforced disappearances.
Every day, Mr. Mnangagwa’s administration is working hard to prove that this is no Second republic but an even more brutal continuation of the First. It is the government’s responsibility to ensure the safety of citizens and the Mnangagwa administration must own up to its responsibilities.
The State is culpable for the heinous acts against Zimbabweans. The illegitimate, scarfed regime of Mr Mnangagwa must explain the whereabouts of Dr. Peter Magombeyi.

WATCH: Doctors Marching To Parliament

Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations (ZHOCD) in a statement today, expressed how they are now losing confidence in President Mnangagwa’s national reform trajectory amid deteriorating human security issues. The clerics were responding to Magombeyi’s abduction case which has put the country’s government hospitals at a standstill as they have withdrawn their services in solidarity with the missing doctor;
In a statement published by Newsday the Clerics said:
<blockquote>The Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations (ZHOCD) writes this pastoral message to the President as head of government and to all the citizens of Zimbabwe seeking a lasting solution to the deteriorating human security situation in the context of a deepening economic crisis,
Church leaders are learning with deep concern the deteriorating human security situation, especially as demonstrated by at least 20 reports of abductions. This situation is deeply worrying because none of the reported cases of abduction and torture have been successfully investigated and prosecuted
The church leaders would like to highlight the lack of confidence in the current national economic reform trajectory and the absence of a meaningful consultative process to ameliorate it
Unfortunately, the growing pessimism is not only shared by international economists, but also by respected local economists. The church leaders are concerned that low public confidence in the context of fragile security sector is a recipe for national crisis</blockquote>
The clerics reportedly urged the government to respect people’s God-given and constitutionally guaranteed right to life.

FULL TEXT: Doctors Withdraw Services, Petition ED Over Missing Medical Doctor

Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) has issued a statement following the disappearance of the president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association. We present below the Association’s statement in full.
<blockquote>Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) has learnt with shock of the abduction of Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA) Acting President Peter Magombeyi.
Dr Magombeyi has been instrumental in advocating for better working conditions and remuneration for civil servants in general through the Health Apex and Doctors in particular through the ZHDA.
As an organisation pursuing the same cause, ZINA is against any action meant to stifle unionism, let alone kidnapping. Kidnapping is a shameful and barbaric act which must be condemned in its totality.
We, therefore, demand the unconditional release of Dr Magombeyi without any further delay. We also appeal to law enforcement agents to investigate and bring to book Dr Magombeyi’s kidnappers.
Unions are not a threat to society, they are a voice for employees to get a fair and decent standard of living.

FULL TEXT: High Court Hears Application To Ascertain Whereabouts Of Missing Medical Doctor

Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights have claimed that the government has blocked a march by doctors who were demanding the return of missing Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA) President, Peter Magombeyi.
Magombeyi went missing on Saturday after leading a recent doctors’ strike over poor government salaries.
Fellow doctors then marched to govt offices to serve a petition demanding their president but were blocked.
Magombeyi’s disappearance comes merely a day after the International Day of Democracy which was initiated with the purpose of promoting and upholding the principles of democracy.
It also follows a spate of abductions and torture of members of the opposition MDC members, human rights defenders and government critics.
Observers have argued that the abductions were being sanctioned by the State and were meant to instil fear in members of the public.
Recent demonstrations by various groups including the MDC and labour organisations have been said to be motivated by the deteriorating state of affairs.

Govt Blocks Doctors' Demonstration Over Missing Doctor

The ZRP has said there is a possibility of a third party involved in the recent abductions in Zimbabwe. National Police Spokesperson Assistant Paul Nyati was referring to the abduction of <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/junior-doctors-president-dr-peter-magombeyi-abducted-by-3-men-full-text/">Junior Doctors’ union leader Dr Peter Magombeyi</a> who was abducted at his home in Budiriro on Saturday night.
In a statement addressing the adduction of Dr Peter, Assistant Paul Nyathi said:
<blockquote>We have noted with previous concern that previously there were a number of alleged abductions ahead of the SADC Summit recently held in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. The possibility of a third force being involed in the alleged abdauctions for political expedience and to sustain the human rights narative ahead of the forth coming UN general Assembly cannot be ruled out.
The ZRP further noted the continued abuse of social media to propagate falsehoods including unconfirmed reports of abductions with a view of tarnishing the image of the country and in the process compromise the security and safety of Zimbabweans. The above notwithstanding, the police asures the safety of that a team is investigating the report which has been made by a ZHDA representetive.</blockquote>
