At the State House in Harare, they met Dr Tizora who advised Gono and Dhowa to release him and make the necessary investigations into the matter. Dr. Tizora then gave the victim some groceries for his family. 1.10 The victim testified that upon their return from Harare, they passed through Masvingo where they met one Mr Machingura, the Provincial Head of the Criminal Investigations Department. Mr Machingura also advised his captors to release him and conduct the necessary investigations into the arson case. 1.11 They left for Chiredzi where he was detained for three nights at Captain Gono’s house.

Captain Gono would fire some shots near his ears, slap him and assault him with open fists. He further alleges that he was at one time hand and foot cuffed and was forcibly given pills at gunpoint which sedated him. 1.13 It is also alleged that Captain Gono forced a piece of wood through his anus several times during this period causing excruciating pain while forcing him to agree to levelling lies against his brother Simbarashe and Mr Hwarare concerning the burning of the ZISMWU offices as well as the holding of secret meetings with Dr Joice Mujuru. He alleges that he managed to send his brother Simbarashe some messages informing him of his whereabouts and what he was going through. 5|Page
