Golden Jubilee For Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference From left to right; Mr. Ngonidzashe Mashonga, Mr. Kelvin Fombe, Mr. Paul Muchena and Ms Clemantine Uwineza distributed in the United Kingdom by the Catholic Institute of International Relations, now Progressio. However, some of the most active Commission members, such as then chairman, Donald Lamont, Bishop of Umtali (Mutare) were deported or restricted. Early in the independence era a new conflict broke out in the country affecting mainly the areas of Matebeleland and parts of the Midlands. The Commission, being at that time the only human rights organisation in this particular field in Zimbabwe, carried out much research into the conflict and human rights abuses arising from it. The Commission, through the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference, reported the then Prime Minister on four occasions. Those reports were not published at that time but the evidence collected then was included in the report co-published, with the Legal Resources Foundation, “Breaking the Silence: Building True Peace” where CCJPZ found itself viewed as 'anti-government', this time by the new Zimbabwe government. But the publication informed 1987 Peace Accord. 38
