MILITARY VISIT UPDATE 2 

It is clear now that there is something not right about the two visits to my home last week.

Just to recap;
1. On Saturday a week ago we had two men in civilian clothes visit my home in Harare and ask strange questions to my staff.

2. Then 3 men in a black Merc registration number BCB 7664 visited my Harare home a few days later. All visits were during the day.

The visitors asked my staff all sorts of strange questions and were hostile. They left my staff and security guard frightened.

We decided that the right thing to do was to report the matter to the police for investigation which we did to the Highlands Police Station and we got a reference number. We were asked to report back for a follow up.

Yesterday my sister and staff went back to the police station for feedback. In a strange twist the police said there was no record of the report having been made. The reference number was not on their records and the detailed report that had been made could not be found.

So they said another OB report/statement be made which was done then and there with the understanding the previous reference number would suffice.My sister and staff were requested to report at 8:30 am today (Wednesday,17/08/16) to check on progress.

On reporting this morning my sister was informed that the car registration number BCB 7664 could not be traced. And this was all the officer could share. The officer said only the Officer-in-Charge could provide the rest of the information surrounding the incident we reported. He was clearly uncomfortable and not authorized to disclose further information.

So now we wait for a call from the Officer-in-Charge. From initially being friendly and helpful the police now appear unable to help.

In the meantime we still have a lot of questions unanswered. Who were these visitors and what was the purpose of the visit. Was this an official visit or rogue state elements sent to harass and intimidate? Is somebody abusing state resources to advance personal interests.

Remember that we have been made to believe that the number plate indicated that our visitors were from military intelligence and yet the beret hats indicated they were from the Presidential Guard.

As law abiding citizens we expect protection from the police and the military. It is absolutely unacceptable that state institutions and resources are deployed to harass and intimidate by those in power as appears to the case here. Who will protect us if the state turns rogue on civilians?

We are complicity in this harassment and intimidation if we elect to remain silent. We have a duty as citizens to stand up and speak out when ever such forms of abuse occur. Silence emboldens the rogue elements and encourages a culture of impunity.

Thank you for your love, support and prayers. Some of you have suggested l beef up my security in Harare. Good advice but is it possible for civilians to protect themselves from the state or from rogue state elements? I doubt it.

God is my protector!!
