Human rights activists have blasted Matobo South legislator Soul Ncube (Zanu PF) for perpetrating human rights violations after pictures of him stepping on a woman’s chest while holding a pistol went viral on social media.
Ncube claimed that the woman was one of the suspects linked to a gang that had stolen his car.
But human rights activists have strongly condemned his actions saying they were uncalled for because he had no right to take the law into his hands.
Social commentator Effie Ncube said: “The picture demonstrates the unbecoming behaviour of a Member of Parliament. Therefore, he should be fired from Parliament and sent to maximum security prison where he and those who behave like him belong. Public officials are expected to be repositories of the highest standards of good behaviour. They must respect human rights and never take the law into their own hands. What the MP did was not just gross violation of human rights and lawlessness, but it was also gender-based violence.”
Ncube said people of such behaviour should not be allowed to possess guns.
“If his gun is licensed, then he must lose the licence. Maybe he is too Zanu-PF to face the consequences. He is cultured in violence and lawlessness and he knows that his behaviour enjoys the protection of the party.”
Efforts to get a comment from the MP were fruitless.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said police in Matabeleland South were investigating the matter.
“We are yet to get a briefing from the officer commanding Matabeleland South,” Nyathi said.
The most important questions are;
Has he been arrested?
Where are women groups who are so vocal when a man takes away a microphone from his wife?
Where’s the toothless Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission
These guys varikungoteedzera mashoko emukuru ekuti ngatiitei mari takanyarara kwete zvema strike, unowana kuti pfuti iyoyi yakauraya pamwe nekutorera mari vanhu vakawanda
He is too zanu pf as they say he is untouchable

He should lose his job immediately and if ZANU PF have any sense at all and sympathy for defenceless people of Zimbabwe they should throw a book at this coward 😡

The man is untouchable for obvious reasons! Had he been from that other family he would have been rotting at Chikurubi Max Prison
She might be representing his entire know organization 🤔
He must be arrested… We don’t like such monsters in our society.
He has to step-down from the position

Women’s Rights groups are silent and one wonders selective condemnation of GGV. They should be calling for the dismissal of the MP. Are we witnessing partisan/captured women’s Rights groups
🤣 Mpiyakhe zungu
Why hasn’t this animal of an Mp been arrested as yet?
