FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE DUDULA FILES:
A PEOPLE’S DOSSIER ON XENOPHOBIC VIOLENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA
7th August 2025
Today, we launch The Dudula Files, a people powered initiative to document, expose, and challenge xenophobic violence and hate targeting African migrants in South Africa.
For too long, the suffering of foreign nationals has been ignored, excused, or erased. Victims of xenophobia, many of them hardworking, law-abiding Africans, have faced verbal abuse, violent attacks, workplace exploitation, denial of healthcare, and widespread discrimination, simply for being who they are.
This initiative is a call to action: we are collecting evidence from survivors, witnesses, and whistleblowers. Photos, videos, testimonies, and documentation will be compiled into a legal and human rights dossier aimed at holding the South African state and its institutions accountable for their failure to act or worse, their complicity.
We will submit this evidence to domestic bodies such as the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), Equality Courts, and the Public Protector. At the international level, we will engage with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), United Nations Special Rapporteurs, and the UN Human Rights Council. These are not symbolic gestures, they are formal complaints backed by the lived experiences of people who have been silenced for far too long.
This is not just about victims. This is about justice. About dignity. About rewriting the narrative. And about demanding that all African lives be treated with the respect and protection they deserve. We encourage anyone with direct experience or reliable documentation of xenophobic abuse in South Africa to send their material to:
We are working with key human rights organisations including Amnesty International, Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO), and Lawyers for Human Rights South Africa to ensure your voice reaches the highest possible levels of regional and global accountability.
Enough is enough.
This is not hate. This is justice.

Will the FCDO demand Zimbabwean Ambassador - [Rtd Col] Christain M Katsande, be asked to answer accusations of intimidation of the Zimbabwean diaspora in the UK, with yet another article of Zimbabweans being named, here in the UK. The Zanu PF mafia cannot be allowed to strong-arms its lunatic demands here in the UK?
""THE Government of Zimbabwe has intensified its scrutiny on individuals in the diaspora - alleged to be disseminating information and engaging in activities aimed at destabilising the country's image abroad.""
They are seeking to "invoke" (according to this article)
""The Government of Zimbabwe has invoked the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Amendment Act of 2023, widely known as the "Patriotic Act". The Law criminalises "wilfully injuring the sovereignty and national interest of Zimbabwe," - including collaborating with foreign governments, media or NGOs in ways that are deemed harmful to national security or reputational integrity.""
Given the gross hypocrisy of Zanu PF talking of "Patriotism", "injuring sovereignty", "national interests" and "REPURATIONAL INTEGRITY" - considering Zanu PF's 45 year LOOTING spree - this is surely just a joke by a junior 'Staff Reporter'??
Will the Home Office become involved by virtue of those named having leave to remain, or in the process of asylum?
How can this happen? What if this was Iran or Ukraine?
This is not new, the Zimbabwe press and media has {slavishly} demanded action against legitimate protest here in the UK. Under "instructions" from Zanu PF it wouls seem??

- Unity Accord Intimidation - 22nd December 2024
We are at a loss to understand the regime's concerns (incidentally they cannot be called a government - a kleptocracy is a better term) - they are really complaining that their myriad of criminal activities is being exposed by an active and perceptive diaspora. Which should be the PATRIOTIC DUTY of all Zimbabweans!
UPDATE: We must also thank AI which produced this very poignant concluding summary statement:
The fact that this targeting comes after activists successfully influenced diplomatic visits shows their advocacy is effective - which is precisely why the government is trying to silence them through intimidation.
We are deciding upon various courses of actions to challenge this pathertic attempt to further white-wash the multiplicity of crimes perpetrated in Zimbabwe and beyond by the military junta masqurading as a "government" in Zimbabwe: Watch this space!!

What is happening at the FLAIR SUMMIT 17-18th June 2025? Last week they 'claimed' they had an "Emergency meeting" to discuss the issue of the Zimbabwean Dictator's Wife - Namely Auxilla Mnangagwa - herself an ex CIO (Secret Police/Informant/Operative) within the horrendous, evil and corrupt Zanu PF regime that has held Zimbabwe HOSTAGE for over 45 years!
Then another claim was that Auxilla (herself) was rushed to Hospital (in Zimbabwe? not likely!!) - semi-conscious!! Plus, a request from an unknown tourism "businessman" at the Zimbabwe Embassy in London - should like to talk through our grievances!! But are there actually any businessmen/women in Zimbabwe - who are NOT looting from the State? Valid Question we feel.
But now silence? Was this yet more Zanu PF disinformation - ruses to defuse the protests expected? Who knows - but since AUX is listed as "Patron Elect" our 'guess' is that it is Auxilla & Zanu PF are on a regime "Laundering Exercise" and money has "changed hands" - allegedly!!
the MAIN EVENT! TODAY and already we are responding to the 714 people who listened to the Twitter Spaces on Sunday evening:

More Disturbing Zanu PF Disinformation Today
Today we are experiencing some Déjà vu
In 2021 when the regime decided that there was “mileage” in the ‘Climate Agenda’, they foolishly put ED Mnangagwa’s name down to attend COP26 in Glasgow! Cue UK Protests! We followed Zanu PF cynically parroting the meaningless Climate Hogwash – as they perceived “an opportunity” to make money and “refresh” their stale-image.
Wrong on so many levels.
We think it was the UK Passport Holder and Spokesperson in Harare, Nick Mangwana who coined the first iteration of the Zanu PF ‘thinking’ about COP26 with the now infamous “Booze Cruise” utterance – but we could be mistaken as Zanu PF re-write history far too often.
This Time
So today, the 30th May 2025 we have a very similar attempt to both discredit (including further libel) and frighten legitimate Zimbabwean protest – with threats of “imminent deportations” back to the Zimbabwean regime – where threats of physical violence have been documented on returnee’s deemed against the regime. But more later – let us review the Déjà vu.
Last Time
On hearing that ED Mnangagwa was attending COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021 our protest planning started in the September. We started questioning why was the Zanu PF regime in the UK (and Europe) when all they profess in Zimbabwe is so attractive.

Problem Posed: “The Minister for State Security, Lovemore Matuke has warned social media users who agitate for the removal of Mr Mnangagwa through demonstrations that they would be dealt with ruthlessly by the system. His message comes when the Second Republic is accused of unbridled corruption in high offices and the economy is plunging with unemployment standing at over 80%.”

“War veterans led by Blessing Geza recently issued statements urging Mnangagwa to leave. Geza has however, gone underground after Police laid charges against him while journalist, Blessing Mhlanga who interviewed him is in custody.”
X/Twitter: Grok3 Item in Response
To assess the authenticity of the statement, "Minister for State Security, Lovemore Matuke has warned social media users who agitate for the removal of Mr Mnangagwa through demonstrations that they would be dealt with ruthlessly by the system," I’ll approach it by considering available information and context up to the current date, February 26, 2025. You mentioned having a photo of a press article, which could be helpful, but since I can’t see it, I’ll rely on reasoning, existing patterns, and relevant background data to evaluate its plausibility.
“Lovemore Matuke is indeed the Minister of State for National Security in Zimbabwe as of late 2024, appointed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in November 2024 to oversee the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO). He also holds the position of Zanu-PF Politburo Secretary for Security, giving him a significant role in both government and party security matters. His public statements, as reported in recent months, often focus on maintaining party discipline, countering dissent, and addressing perceived threats to Mnangagwa’s leadership.”
“For instance, in November 2024, Matuke warned Zanu-PF members against misusing social media to undermine party unity, emphasizing that the party would track and discipline offenders. He’s also been linked to efforts to curb information leaks and restrict media access to party events, signaling a hard-line stance on controlling narratives.”
“The statement you provided aligns with this pattern. Zimbabwe’s government, under Mnangagwa’s Second Republic, has a documented history of responding harshly to dissent, particularly when it involves protests or social media campaigns. Past incidents—like the 2019 crackdown on fuel price protests or the 2020 arrests of activists during the #ZimbabweanLivesMatter movement—show a willingness to use force and legal measures against those challenging the regime.”
