Given that the courts have ruled against the ZRP in a very high proportion of the completed cases, and that in others the State has conceded liability, it would seem that a thoroughgoing review of the ZRP is in order. The Forum has no information as to whether any of those State agents identified as violating human rights and domestic laws have been the subject of investigation, prosecution, or even internal disciplinary proceedings. However, it is pertinent here to point out that this has not happened in even the most egregious cases, such as those of the torture of Mark Chavunduka and Ray Choto, or the extra-judicial killings of Chiminya and Mabika in Buhera.40 Table 36 Police stations named in violations Police Station Harare Central Makoni St Mary’s Hatfield Buhera Southerton Murambinda Warren Park Kuwadzana Machipisa Braeside Chinhoyi Mabvuku Highlands Marimba Park Glen View Stoddart Avondale Dzivarasekwa Zaka Chemagamba Bindura Mutoko Borrowdale Glen Norah Police base Rhodesville Marlborough Sunningdale Police Post Matapi Kambuzuma Zengeza Matepatepa Rushinga Featherstone Chimanimani Chegutu Kadoma Gweru Masvingo Central Mahusekwa Basaka Guruve Hwedza Mbare Police Camp Number of times mentioned 39 15 12 9 7 7 5 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 40 See Redress, Zimbabwe: The Face of Torture and Organised Violence; Redress, The Case of Henry Dowa: The United Nations and Zimbabwe under the Spotlight (London: Redress Trust, 2004). 26
