day of the visit, the staff compliment was stated to be at 60%. Although this was reported to be “manageable and normal in the context of Zimbabwe”, the ZHRC noted that this had the effect of impeding on the enjoyment of human rights by patients. Considering the type of patients at the hospital such a deficit of 40% is highly irregular and compromises enjoyment of human rights by both staff and patients. The staff on duty was open to serious strain which could lead to burn out and lack of attention to the needs of the patients. The staff compliment at Annexe was reported to be adequate and there were no reports of any discrepancies. ZHRC recommends that Treasury should increase the budget allocation to the Ministry of Health and Child Care in order for Government mental health institutions to be adequately resourced to cater for the needs of patients.

The workshop was attended by participants comprising Government, CSOs and Development Partners. The background of this workshop comes from findings of the ZHRC prisons monitoring reports which established that there was a large number of migrants housed in Zimbabwe prisons awaiting to be deported to their countries of origin. Unfortunately, the economic hardships encountered by the country affect operations of ZPCS which is constrained to provide adequate resources to take care of this group of people. Some of the challenges being faced by these migrants include amongst others; unsuitable diet, language barriers, limited clothing and poor bedding. The Immigration department raised concerns that some inmates were being “disowned” by their embassies in the vetting process, making it difficult to effect deportation. Moreover, Zimbabwe has not established detention centres where prohibited migrants could be housed awaiting deportation. The meeting reached consensus on action points to be undertaken by various stakeholders to speed up the process of effecting deportation to their countries.
