Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum, Wanganui Avenue, Harare (2026)

The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum (the Forum) is a coalition of twenty-two human rights NGOs in Zimbabwe. Its mission is to reduce organized violence and torture, cruel inhuman and degrading treatment; to challenge impunity and to foster a culture and the building of institutions of non-violence, tolerance and the respect for human rights in Zimbabwe.

— The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum (the Forum), a coalition
of twenty-one human rights organisations committed to the promotion, protection, and
advancement of human rights and constitutionalism in Zimbabwe, expresses its deep
concern following the signing into law of the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3)
Act (CAB 3).
The Constitution of Zimbabwe, adopted by an overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans in the 2013
referendum, represents the country’s supreme law and embodies the democratic aspirations of its
people. Constitutional amendments affecting the architecture of governance must therefore
strengthen, rather than diminish, the constitutional principles of accountability, separation of powers,
judicial independence, and popular sovereignty.
The Forum is seriously concerned that several provisions of the Amendment Act have the potential to
fundamentally alter key constitutional safeguards that have underpinned Zimbabwe’s constitutional
democracy since 2013. In particular, the Forum notes that replacing the direct election of the Head of
State by universal adult suffrage with an indirect parliamentary electoral model significantly alters
the manner in which executive authority is derived.

The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum has strongly condemned the threats and intimidation directed at Mr. Youngerson Matete following his recent court application (Youngerson Matete v Parliament of Zimbabwe & 4 Others [HCH2558/26]).

69(3) and 85(1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe explicitly guarantee every citizen the right to approach the courts and seek legal redress without fear of reprisal.

Any attempts to intimidate, harass, or threaten litigants for exercising their constitutional rights are unacceptable and strike at the heart of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and access to justice."

Today marks another year since Itai Dzamara was abducted, and his absence remains a loud, echoing silence in the heart of Zimbabwe.

On March 9, 2015, Itai was taken for simply demanding a better, more accountable nation. He wasn’t just a journalist or an activist; he was a husband, a father, and a man of immense courage who stood at Africa Unity Square with nothing but a placard and a vision.

We remember his bravery today—not just to mourn a disappearance, but to honor the spirit of peaceful resistance. A man can be taken, but the demand for justice, truth, and freedom cannot be erased.

Our thoughts remain with Sheffra and the children. We still ask the same question: Where is Itai Dzamara?

Today, the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum joins the world in celebrating the incredible resilience and achievements of Zimbabwean women. 🌸 But as we celebrate, we must also confront a sobering reality.

While our Constitution promises equality, the daily lives of many women are still defined by:
📉 A deteriorating economic environment.
⚖️ Precarious legal protections.
🚫 Structural barriers to leadership and safety.

Of particular concern: The proposed Constitution Amendment (No. 3) Bill threatens to weaken the Zimbabwe Gender Commission. We cannot afford to lose the independence of the very institutions meant to protect us. 🛡️
