August 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS those who are behind ‘bhora musango’ a plot to decampaign him will be dealt with. He also hinted that those behind the Bulawayo bomb incident are now known and they would be dealt with. This could set the stage for violent confrontations. In the opposition MDC Alliance a looming congress to elect new leadership may also be a source of conflict as two distinct camps represented by Nelson Chamisa and Douglas Mwonzora are said to be firming up. The issue of how the grouping of the MDC Alliance has come about is another issue which could be a source of serious contestation once the dust of the 2018 elections settles. Reprisals against opposition supporters especially through illegal evictions and deprivation of food expose an inadequate legal framework to deal with post election conflict. Most of the mechanisms provided for by the law deal with the period immediately before elections and during elections but citizens are left to the ‘wolves’ in the post election period. The injury to a person with disability in Harare CBD after being shot by soldiers reveals that those who organise political protests and those who respond to them have no regard for the rights of people with disabilities. Elections although declared free fair and peaceful, many reports of intimidation and harassment continued to pour in. Impunity remains as traditional leaders continued to meddle in partisan politics without any meaningful action being taken against them. Recommendations  While the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry into post election violence is noted ZPP is concerned that with the growing number of PWD in the Central Business Districts and the injury of a deaf and dumb vendor the inclusion of a disability expert to this Commission would be in the best interest of all citizens so that issues of PWD can also be included in the recommendations.  We recommend sensitisation of security forces to be mindful of the presence of persons with disabilities on the streets when implementing their crowd control measures.  In post elections era the work of the Chapter 12 Commissions has been cut out the mandate of the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission in being the forerunner in post conflict healing, social cohesion and tolerance cannot be over emphasised; the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission has to get its hands dirty by investigating all reports of human rights violations and assist in the building of confidence in state institutions such as the police and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission needs a serious reflection of its role in the elections so as to take on board all recommendations from the varied observers.  Political parties are urged to have processes that will contribute to healing their supporters when internal processes fail most of the violent conflict was witnessed in intra party violence when political parties struggled to finalise their lists to everyone’s satisfaction. 10
