7.3 Captain Gono testified that he, together with Detective Inspector Dhowa had provided protection to the victim and that he stayed comfortably at Captain Gono’s house for two nights. He also alleges that, on the second day when he and Dhowa were coming from town, they found the victim smoking a cigarette at one of the abandoned buildings on Captain Gono’s farm. The victim indicated that he would join them after his smoke but never came back. Captain Gono stated that he was a man of good heart and resources that is why he was involved in assisting the victim. 8. Superintendent Emanuel Chazireni, who is allegedly the officer who denied to accept 1st Complainant’s complaint on the disappearance of the victim (2nd Complainant), failed to avail himself to the ZHRC investigation team that visited Chiredzi. When the ZHRC team visited Chiredzi, it was advised that Chazireni was on leave. However, the Officer Commanding Chiredzi Police Station, one Usaiwevhu, requested Chazireni to avail himself for an interview. Chazireni came but never availed himself for an interview for reasons known to himself. 8.2 The ZHRC then issued a subpoena in terms of section 12 (1) (a) of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Act [Chapter 10:30], compelling Superitendent Chazireni to appear before the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission at Harare on the 4th day of August 2016, at 10:00 am to give evidence in connection with the alleged forced disappearance of 2nd complainant. However, he never turned up. 8.3 Chazireni was advised of ZHRC’s intention to serve him a subpoena. He was aware of the date the ZHRC driver would serve him the subpoena. The subpoena was eventually served at Chazireni’s offices in Chiredzi. Despite all the ZHRC’s courtesies, and the countless chances he had to give his side of the story in compliance with the audi alteram partem rule, Chazireni still deliberately ignored the subpoena or refused to give his side of the story. 10 | P a g e
