They clashed with members of ZANU PF who abducted and assaulted client and his family; maliciously damaged his property and looted some. Client was abducted and taken to one Betty Dokora’s home, the local ZANU PF Councillor, where he was subjected to further assault before he was handed over to the police. He was further tortured and subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment by the police before charging him with public violence. He was detained in hospital. The Forum intervened and secured his release on bail. Granted Bail 24/10/17 Sihle Ncube vs. City of Harare and 2 Others HC 855/ 17 Client is a victim of negligence by the City Council after she fell in an uncovered and unmarked City of Harare storm drain. As a result of the fall she sustained numerous fractures on her legs. With the assistance from the Forum, she filed a claim against the city council claiming damages for the pain and suffering from the injuries she sustained. The City Council offered to pay before the matter could go for trial. Ms Ncube is an indigent member of society, who ordinarily could not have afforded the cost of issuing summons against the city council to get justice for the violation she suffered. The Forum was able to facilitate for that. (See picture next page of Ms. Ncube with her judgement award) $3,000.00 12 ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM ANNUAL REPORT 2017
