5.3 Violation of traditional values by the Village Head The villagers argued that the church was built on grazing land and that there was a letter from the District Administrator’s office dated 24 June 2005 which stated that no structure was allowed to be built on that land and no one was allowed to cultivate on it. The office of the District Administrator reaffirmed the position in writing in 2016. Villagers alleged that the village head and the Chief of their area were disposing of the communal grazing land in a corrupt manner. They further advised that the village head confessed at a village meeting that he had received money from the church leaders to allocate them that land. The villagers stated that they were concerned that the church was built on a place where they take stones for their burials because in their culture they are not buried in sand. They also use the stones for building their homes. They said the place was their cultural heritage with a respectable grave and they perform their cultural rituals there. They further stated that over the past ten years three villagers tried to build on that land but they were reprimanded by the community. The villagers indicated that there was an area allocated for building churches in the community where other churches were built. They further stated that, grazing land was already scarce in their area hence their cattle would not have anywhere to graze if the land was constructed on. 5.4 The Public Prosecutor failing to represent state witnesses Complainant and villagers complained that they were being summoned to attend Court but when they get to Court only one person testifies and they are required to go back to Court at a later date that is communicated to them by the Court. They said this was disrupting their work since it was harvest time and they were using a lot of money since each person required eights dollars for transport to travel to and from Court per day. At one point they were arrested for contempt of Court when they failed to attend Court because they did not have transport fares. They were also outraged that the investigating officer did not include in complainant’s statement the fact that Constable Dzimano indecently assaulted Complainant. Page 6 of 13
