Torture victims approach SSB for reprieve

THE Salary Service Bureau (SSB) has been ordered to garnish US$100 each per month from two members of the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) for torturing a Harare man.

The perpetrators, Michael Nduna and Florence Chihambakwe, were sued for US$5 250 damages by Alex Tendai Gombedza, who was severely assaulted and tortured together with his friend Evidence Kutsawa by the prison guards.

Gombedza and Kutsawa were accused of trespassing into a prohibited area while walking through Chikurubi Prison gardens in Harare in January 2022.
