Home affairs Minister Ignatias Chombo has told the senate that a reward tag has been placed for anyone who can help the government find the abducted journalists and human rights activist Itai Dzamara.
Dzamara was abducted on March 9 2015 in Harare.
Chombo said the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has been investigating the disappearance of Itai Dzamara since 9th March, 2015. Justice David Mangota issued a Provisional Order on 13th March 2015, directing the ZRP to submit fortnightly reports on the progress of investigation to the Registrar of the High Court and these have been judiciously submitted.
"The ZRP is pursuing all possible avenues to locate Itai Kadiki Dzamara as directed by Justice Mangota. The Ministry of Home of Affairs, Ministry of State Security, Human Rights lawyers and Dzamara's relatives are actively involved in the investigation with the police. Periodical meetings are being held with all concerned parties with a view to establish the whereabouts of Itai Kadiki Dzamara," he said.
"The ZRP, through the Press and Public Relations Department, has appealed for information which may lead to the location of Itai Dzamara through A press statement, which was broadcast on ZBC TV news hour on 13th March, 2015 and all the print media houses in the country on 14th March, 2015."
"A reward of US$10 000.00 has been offered to anyone who supplies information which may lead to the arrest of the suspects involved in the abduction of Dzamara or his location. This reward still stands<' he added.
