25 … AND THEIR FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION … ZLHR member lawyer,Tonderai Bhatasara, walks out of Rotten Row Court with his happy clients – the GALZ leadership ZLHR intervened to assist the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ) after their office was subjected to a police raid, property confiscated, and the organisation and its representatives charged for a second time with ‘running an unregistered organisation’ in contravention of the Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) Act. ZLHR argued, on behalf of GALZ, that this charge did not disclose an offence, and there was already a pre-existing High Court order that exempted the organisation from registering under the PVO Act. The magistrate confirmed that GALZ was not obliged to register under the PVO Act and that the High Court order exempting the organisation from registering was binding.
