After years of reluctance to implement section 210 of the constitution by setting up an Independent Complaints Mechanism that looks into the excesses of the security forces, the government seems to be yielding and has called for public hearings to discuss a draft Bill.
The Bill intends to provide for an independent complaints mechanism for members of the public against members of the security forces of Zimbabwe namely the Zimbabwe republic Police, Zimbabwe Defence Forces, prisons and members of the intelligence.
The public meetings will be held in Harare and Victoria Falls on 7 June, Chinhoyi and Bulawayo, 8 June, Bindura and Gwanda 9 June, Marondera and Masvingo, 10 June and finally, Gweru and Mutare on 12 June.

New dawn for Mhangura community beckons
Conrad Mupesa–Mashonaland West Bureau
MHANGURA which became moribund more than two decades ago after the mine closed down, could rise from its ashes and breathe new life after a Chinese company decided to invest in it.
A new deal penned by the Government and a Chinese investor, Zhi Jui Mining Resource (Pvt) Ltd to treat millions of tonnes of copper dumps from former mining giant Mhangura Copper Mines is certainly a game changer.
Commissioning of the project is scheduled for the next six months and once running, the project is expected to create direct employment to 300 people from the mining settlement while contributing US$34 million towards the $12 billion mining industry economy.
