ZLHR Demands Action After Mnangagwa Admits Maritime Failures

Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has demanded an independent and transparent investigation into the Lake Kariba ferry disaster, following President Mnangagwa's admission of serious maritime safety failures. Mnangagwa declared the tragedy a national disaster but has not yet outlined concrete steps for reform. ZLHR argues that acknowledgment without action is insufficient, especially given the government's history of regulatory neglect. The core vulnerability is the widening gap between official rhetoric and accountability, as families of the 68 victims await justice and systemic change.
