The International Coalition against Coronavirus-African Development (ICAC-AD) has challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa for indirectly commandeering citizens to take Covid 19 vaccines lest they face both unspecified actions and some already known consequences .
In a statement, ICAC South Africa First Vice President Chanda Chose yesterday expressed concern over the violation of the people’s rights by the government through remarks made on the vaccination process.
“The Constitution of Zimbabwe (Chapter 4 (2) and section 52 (c) on right to personal security stipulates that citizens must not be subjected to medical or scientific experiments or the extraction or use of their bodily tissue, without their informed consent,” Chose said.
“The surprising news is the rush to produce COVID-19 cards… We are calling upon the authorities to adhere to the Constitution…before rushing into unnecessary spending.”
Chose said Mnangagwa has been disseminating incongruent statements on the vaccination exercise as on February 26 he stated that vaccination was not compulsory, only to renege later to state that people will not have access to some services if they were not vaccinated.
“ICAC-AD is calling for a stop to compulsory vaccination,” he said.
This came after President Mnangagwa recently warned that government might make it mandatory for citizens to produce COVID-19 vaccine certificates when boarding public transport or entering public spaces, among other services.
Zimbabwe is tipped to be among the first countries in the world to issue COVID-19 certificates that will be used when people are travelling in and out of the country to help curb the proliferation of fake COVID-19 certificates.
