The veteran broadcasters’ whereabouts
are still unknown raising fears about her safety and well-being.
We demand that police and other security arms shed light on the
circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
The continued harassment of journalists and civic society activists
runs contrary to the spirit of the on-going power sharing talks
and the Global Political Agreement.
We urge all political parties to the agreement and the guarantors
such as the SADC and AU to immediately get to the bottom of the
matter concerning Jestina Mukoko.
