Human Rights Forum Report: Who was responsible?
List of alleged perpetrators
Alleged perpetrators who appear in bold were named in several incidents of violence. Some were named in
as many as 16 cases. Also given is the constituency and province in which the incident of political violence
occurred. Some victims were either unable to remember or did not know the names of those who victimised
them. It was not uncommon for perpetrators of violence to be strangers to an area who had been brought in
from elsewhere to carry out campaigns of violence. This was perhaps a purposeful attempt to insure that
victims would be unable to identify perpetrators. Two names on the list, Chenjerai Hunzvi and Paddington
Zhanda, appear twice because they were active in two provinces. The Forum has tried to be as accurate as
possible with the names but, in some cases, only part of a name or a title was known. We have included
what we have. In addition, it is important to note that nearly everyone on this list is alleged to have
personally taken part in acts of violence. 30 names are included who did not actively participate, but were
present and in some way sanctioned or supported acts of violence.
