3.0 Conclusion The violation of human rights by security services in Zimbabwe has become a culture. As such Government of Zimbabwe must urgently set up and capacitate the independent complaints mechanism meant to receive complaints from the public concerning the conduct of security services, provided for in terms of Section 210 of the Constitution. Also the government must desist from using the military in civilian matters. All the security services should be a service and not a force; protect and secure the lives and property of the people and not be perpetrators of violence. 12
