The recently amended Presidential clemency order has
benefited 2 528 more prisoners, who were today released from different prisons
countrywide.
Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) assisted
the released prisoners with passes and busfare to those who stay outside
Harare.
Six of the released prisoners were on life sentences. One
of the pardoned inmates James Dube, who was on life sentence thanked Government
for the gesture.
“I was arrested for murder in Gokwe and was given a death
sentence. Later, I was removed from death to life sentence.
“I was not even expecting to be released any time soon.
This came as a surprise to me. I had served 24 years in prison. I am thankful
to our President Mnangagwa for this.” Herald
