Rights lawyers challenge rapist’s release

THE Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has challenged the release of a Murewa rape convict who was pardoned through a Presidential amnesty.

Bhobhi Makaza (60) was released from jail in May this year after serving four years of his 16-year jail term for raping his then 11-year-old niece in 2018.

A video of Makaza describing Mnangagwa as honey to express his excitement for being released went viral on social media soon after he left jail.
