President Mnangagwa met the visiting African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) high‑level delegation, led by the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women in Africa, Commissioner Janet Ramatoulie Sallah‑Njie, this Wednesday morning.
The delegation is on a four-day promotional visit to Zimbabwe and has met several stakeholders, that include Speaker of the National Assembly, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, among others.
The delegation has been holding a series of meetings with Government ministries, independent commissions and civil society organisations as part of its programme across AU member States.
In an interview soon after meeting President Mnangagwa at his Munhumutapa offices, Commissioner Sallah-Njie expressed satisfaction with the milestones Zimbabwe has made in observance of human rights.
She described the discussion her delegation had with President Mnangagwa as constructive.
“We had a constructive discussion with the President. We made him aware of the purpose of our visit to fellow African Union member states. We are going back satisfied about the dialogue we have held,” said Comm Sallah-Njie.
She was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Mrs Vimbai Nyemba.
Zimbabwe has received positive reviews from progressive regional and international institutions regarding its commitment to upholding human rights.
