advised ZHRC that there was another pending case involving complainant on the allegations that together with other villagers she illegally demolished a church structure. 7.3 Interview with the Masvingo Area Public Prosecutor (APP) The ZHRC paid a courtesy call on the Area Public Prosecutor and highlighted to him complainant’s concerns regarding the case proceedings. The ZHRC advised that the complainant was not clear about how the case was proceeding, and as such it was advisable for the prosecution to explain to complainants the court procedures so that they could know what to do when in Court. The ZHRC also highlighted the issue of witnesses’ expenses, information which was not made available to state witnesses resulting in them failing to travel to Court and being arrested for contempt of court when they failed to attend Court.

He further advised that he would remind the prosecutors to always advise state witnesses of their entitlement to receive witnesses’ expenses. 8.
