Probe
South Africa's police minister, Nathi Mthethwa, has attempted to reassure human rights organisations by announcing that a preliminary investigation into the allegations is almost completed. But according to the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum this is the first time any form of a probe has been mentioned.
Forum director Gabriel Shumba has threatened to refer Hawks members to the International Criminal Court if they are not brought to justice. Mr Shumba said: ‘These renditions are crimes against humanity that include brutal assaults on people. Yet nothing has been done to prevent this from continuing.’
Intimidation
Mr Shumba also highlighted the noticeable increase in reports of intimidation of Zimbabwean nationals in South Africa, commenting: ‘We have people trying to get to the US or Canada or somewhere they might be safe. They don't feel safe here [in South Africa] because so many South African police are working with Zimbabwean police.’
