press release By NECJ

The Network for Environmental and Climate Justice has noted a growing trend of terror against environmental activists in Harare.

This wave of terror is being unleashed by land barons boasting of political connections.

These land barons continue to invade open spaces and Harare's wetlands sometimes with impunity.

The invasions are occurring in Harare's low and high density suburbs.

The NECJ received a similar threat from a unanimous caller following publication of a story on X exposing developments on a wetland in Borrowdale.
