Free at last
Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR)
March 19, 2010

It was a flurry of joy as Gahaodus and Marco were today set free after spending two months jailed in Masvingo for allegedly breaking immigration laws. They will be transported back to South Africa to be reunited with their families this afternoon.

Speaking to ROHR Zimbabwe soon after his release from a holding cell in Harare Rhodesvile police station, Gahaodus was thankful of the role that ROHR Zimbabwe played in unearthing their plight and directing the attention of the South African Embassy to rescue them. Gahaudos and his son are both working for the Salvation Church in Johannesburg South Africa where they are feeding more than 300 destitute Zimbabweans daily as a part of humanitarian assistance towards those who were forced to cross over into South Africa to escape the woos of economic meltdown and harsh political terrain in Zimbabwe. The two were arrested early February at Beitbridge boarder post and detained illegally at Masvingo remand prsison until the time of their release.
