25 It is significant that the Zimbabwe Republic Police, in its various branches, is reported with a high frequency – nearly 10% of the total – and security forces as a whole – police, army, air force, and CIO – comprise over 14% of the total. It was surprising that the air force was mentioned at all! As can also be seen from Table 9, various political officers are mentioned as being involved in the perpetration of violations: Members of Parliament, Governors, Provincial and District Administrators, and members of the President’s Office are all mentioned. If the security forces are separated out from the remainder, then a rather surprising trend emerges. MPs, Governors, Provincial Administrators, District Administrators, and officers of the Officer of the President comprise nearly 20% of the remainder. 3.3.2 Perpetrators of violations against farm workers and their families The respondents indicated a very similar list of perpetrators of violations against farm workers. Once again Zanu(PF) supporters and “war veterans” are most frequently mentioned [62%], as are farm employees. There was a trend for the ZRP and security forces in general to be reported with greater frequency than with the farmers.
