WERDIT said in a statement: “WERDIT believes in the sanctity of life, and it is disheartening that lives of innocent people were cut short as a result of the fatal shootings. Peaceful resolutions to conflicts remain at the core of our work hence we condemn in the strongest of terms, the fatal shootings.
Muvhevhi has since been arrested.
He was arrested by Mozambican police, working with the Zimbabwe Republic Police, this morning, a few minutes after crossing into that country.
“As WERDIT, we are hopeful that justice will prevail, and this will bring healing to relatives of the shootings.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of the fatal shootings – May their souls rest in eternal peace,” the statement further reads, in part.
As a community-based organisation, WERDIT works in all the 15 wards of Wedza District in the areas of peace-building and conflict management as well as service delivery, together with the Wedza Rural District Council and the district development coordinator’s office among other functions.
