The ZNA was the main perpetrators of violence that took place in Harare from the 1st to the 4th of August 2018. The army was responsible for the seven (7) extra judicial killings that happened in Harare’s CBD. As highlighted earlier on following the protests, members of the army embarked on a crackdown of civilians in Harare’s high-density surburbs. In areas like Chitungwiza and Kuwadzana for example community members were assaulted by man in military uniforms who were moving around the suburbs in military trucks. The army and unidentified man in masks also conducted overnight raids on MDC-A supporter’s homes and those suspected to have organized the 1st of August protests. For example, on 03 August 2018, Tendai Biti one of the MDC-A leaders, Happymore Chidziva the MDC-A youth leader and Philian Zamchiya an advisor to Chamisa had their homes raided by soldiers. The violence spilt over to rural areas in particular Mashonaland Central, West and East and in Masvingo were reports of retributive violence on citizens perceived to have voted for the MDC or those who acted as polling agents for the MDC Alliance were reported. The violations were in the form of harassment and intimidation and assault and denial of agricultural inputs and food aid. The perpetrators in the rural areas were no longer soldiers but ZANU PF supporters and traditional leaders. FIGURE 2: Distribution of victims by gender Of the 274 human rights violations that were documented from the 1st to the 31st of August, 167 of the victims were males, 55 were females and 52 whose gender is unknown. The variance does not however imply that males are more susceptible to violence than their female counterparts, but this might mean more males reported their cases than their female counterparts.
