A Zimbabwean man based in South Africa is speaking out after his younger brother was wrongfully imprisoned in Zimbabwe following a coerced confession.

The family’s ordeal has sparked heated online reactions, with many expressing support while others question the case’s details.

The incident began when the man’s 24-year-old brother was arrested in Zimbabwe, accused of armed robbery, beaten by police, and forced to confess to a crime he did not commit.

The family believes he was framed, but reactions to this claim have been divided.

“I sympathize with you, but to say he was framed for armed robbery, I doubt. Usually, in Zimbabwe, the CID doesn’t let anything slip, and for a conviction like that, there must have been sufficient evidence to convict him,” Mbona commented. “The lawyer’s issue is something different; maybe her duty was to reduce the sentence.”

“I don’t believe he was framed, but everyone deserves justice. The lawyer was supposed to offer the services she agreed to. If she didn’t, try to pursue that with Zimbabwean human rights lawyers. Go to their offices.”

 “Police in Zim actually beat and harass you till you confess to a crime you didn’t commit. The interrogation room is not what you expect. Is it even legal for the police to do such?”

SbusisoNcub,

“People who are saying that he wasn’t framed, do you know you can easily be involved in a robbery without even knowing it? You might only realize you were part of a robbery when it’s over, or never even understand what happened until it’s too late.”

The situation turned when Grace Nyabawa, a self-identified human rights lawyer, took on the case. According to the family, Nyabawa charged USD 500 from their elderly mother but failed to provide any meaningful legal support.

The family claims that the lawyer continued to make excuses, promising to handle the case online while offering no real progress.

In the end, the young man was sentenced to 8 years in prison, and Nyabawa blocked the family’s attempts to contact her. This betrayal of trust has left the family disillusioned with the legal system.
