At
1100hours, Raymond Majongwe and 4 other members of PTUZ reported
to Harare central police station, Law and Order and Section, accompanied
by ZLHR lawyers Otto Saki, Rangu Nyamurundira and Jacob Mafume.
Detective Inspector Rangwani of the Law and Order Section indicated
that the "meeting" was aimed at understanding the calls
made by PTUZ to engage in a job action and had no intentions of
arresting the PTUZ leadership, despite the fact that they had looked
for Raymond at 5 am on Thursday 1, February 2007. After 30 minutes
of questioning, DI Rangwani indicated that Raymond was free to go.
Notably, DI Rangwani recorded the national identity numbers of the
accompanying PTUZ members.

Chinorumba, and P Dube were detained at Chipinge Police Station
by officers from the Law and Order Section Chipinge. Mr. Blessing
Nyamaropa, ZLHR member in Chipinge was deployed to attend to teachers

February 01 - Harare
Around
5 am, today, several police officers from the Law and Order Section
at Harare Central Police Station stormed Raymond Majongwe’s house.
They met Raymond’s wife who indicated that Mr. Majongwe had traveled
out of Harare and cannot possibly attend to them. The officers refused
to heed to this information and continued to harass Mrs. Loice Majongwe,
threatening to (ransom) arrest her, confiscate her identity documents,
after protracted exchanges the police officers left with a stern
demand that Raymond reports to the Harare Central Police Station
at 8 am without fail.
