Incarcerated mothers can stay with children: Mabiza

ATTORNEY-GENERAL Virginia Mabiza says the Zimbabwean law allows incarcerated mothers to be with their infants in prison.

Mabhiza was responding to an image that was circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms of a woman with a child on her back at a Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services facility.

The woman was arrested last month as police pounced on opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party supporters who were holding a meeting at top party official Jameson Timba’s house in Avondale, Harare.
