“Despite it being an urgent application, the high court has taken over a week to give a hearing date,” the group lamented, adding: “worrying reports have been received from Mlondolozi that Jenni and Magodonga have been separated and that Magodonga has been put in the same cell as mental health patients.”
According to WOZA, the leading pressure group in the Southern African nation, the apparent cause of separating their detained leaders is that “prison authorities believe the pair to be homosexuals” because Jenni was observed massaging medicated gel into the injuries Magodonga sustained when she was beaten.
The two female leaders were arrested and detained after their street riots that Zimbabwe considered unlawful.
