It has been noted that it is mostly non-governmental organisations that have sought to promote freedom of artistic expression in Zimbabwe as explained by Rudo Kanukamwe, a writer, when she says, ‘governmental organisations strictly seek to promote art which is politically correct or purely commercial.’ Therefore, in view of the above lost opportunity, this report could not have been produced at a better time than this where it seeks to feed into the next cycle of the UPR process. It will serve to expose the issue of artistic freedom, extent of violations and measures that need to be adopted to address censorship if it cannot be abolished. This intervention will ensure that artistic freedom will be specifically addressed in future endeavours to improve the promotion and protection of freedom of expression. 73 | P a g e
