Two South African nationals are being controversially detained at Masvingo Remand Prison since January 26, The ZimDiaspora can reveal.
Paulo Conveira and Petros Dehados whose ages can not be ascertained since they lost their identification particulars to ‘thieves’ have been held at Masvingo Remand Prison for the past two weeks now.
The two South Africans were arrested for allegedly being ‘illegal’ immigrants. The two were arrested at Masvingo Police Station where they had gone to report theft of their luggage which included their passports and identification particulars.
They were later transferred to Masvingo Remand Prison where they have been languishing without proper food in appalling conditions.
“Information from our Masvingo representative show that these men have been in detention for 14 days without going to court. To make matters, one of the men told our representative that he is due for a major operation 3 days from now,” he said.
A South African official in Harare Mr Khoza could not comment on the issue but asked The ZimDiaspora to put the questions in writing.
