An in-depth Study on the impacts of Operation Murambatsvina
RECOMMENDATIONS
At the outset, we should state that all our previous recommendations still stand. We would
wish to add a number of additional recommendations in the light of our findings:
Medical care
The immediate setting up of a medical task force to provide medical care and treatment to
those in need of care, with priority being given to those suffering from HIV/AIDS, womenheaded households, and child-headed households;
Mental health care
The immediate setting up of a mental health task force to provide treatment to those in need
of care, as well as the setting up of a training and supervision system for counsellors in the
affected communities. Here it must be recognized that the scale of the morbidity will a longterm commitment to care, training and supervision.
Legal assistance
The immediate setting up of a legal task force to explore the dual issues of the rights
infringed and the losses consequently incurred. Since there is a very high probability that the
losses experienced by the victims and the rights infringed will be excluded from legal remedy
due to prescription, there is extreme urgency for this action.
