Prominent civic organisation Abantwana BoMzabalazo, composed of sons and daughters of former ZPRA cadres, has issued a strong condemnation of what it calls a growing culture of online abuse and targeted defamation against young, accomplished Zimbabwean women.<\/p>\n
In a strongly worded statement released Wednesday, the group expressed alarm at the \u201ccowardly and malicious attacks\u201d being carried out via anonymous social media accounts \u2014 often operated by men masquerading as women \u2014 which aim to discredit women in leadership, business, and public life.<\/p>\nLinda Masarira<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cThe pattern is clear,\u201d said Abantwana BoMzabalazo Chairperson Mgcini Ncube.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we\u2019re witnessing is digital gender-based violence disguised as discourse.<\/p>\nLynne Stactia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cIt is an orchestrated attempt to silence and shame women who have dared to rise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organisation cited several high-profile women who have recently been subjected to degrading and unfounded attacks on social media.<\/p>\n
Among them is Advocate Fadzayi Mahere, who has faced relentless harassment, Linda Masarira, President of LEAD, whose critics have stooped to body-shaming and personal insults, and Tariro Gezi, a popular socialite whose personal dignity has been trampled on through reckless commentary online.<\/p>\n
Also highlighted was a disturbing attack on professional executive Rumbidzai Kanhukamwe, allegedly spearheaded by the social media handle @TafadzwaBambaninga.<\/p>\n
The accusations, described as \u201csalacious innuendo,\u201d were condemned as not only false but deeply damaging to her career and reputation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch baseless character assassinations belong in shebeens, not in national discourse,\u201d said Ncube.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are attempts to erase the hard-earned success of women by dragging them through digital mud.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement also referenced attacks on Getmore Mangundu, a successful entrepreneur, allegedly defamed by a user named Lynn Stactia.<\/p>\n
The common thread in these cases, the group claims, is a sinister trend where men hide behind female personas or fake accounts to smear influential women.<\/p>\n
But the group didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n
Abantwana BoMzabalazo warned that this wave of online defamation is also being weaponised politically, dragging in top leaders with the intent to destabilise or scandalise.<\/p>\n
\u201cOpposition leader Nelson Chamisa has been recklessly linked to certain women without proof, and even President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s name has been unfairly thrown into the mix,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n
The organisation warned that such tactics not only degrade women but undermine national integrity and the reputation of high offices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot allow social media to become a battlefield where honourable people are lynched in the name of gossip,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
Abantwana BoMzabalazo has called on several bodies to act urgently:<\/p>\n
The Zimbabwe Gender Commission is to investigate these online attacks as a form of gender-based violence.<\/p>\n
The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to protect citizens\u2019 rights to dignity and freedom from harassment;<\/p>\n
Regulatory and legislative bodies to develop frameworks to hold online offenders accountable, especially those using ghost accounts to spread slander.<\/p>\n
The organisation also implored local media houses to exercise greater responsibility, urging journalists to offer a right of reply and refrain from sensationalising online rumours without due diligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cZimbabwe\u2019s women are not cannon fodder for digital warfare,\u201d the statement concluded. \u201cThey have earned their place, and we will not allow this culture of intimidation to roll back the progress\u00a0of\u00a0decades.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
