Human rights abuses, corruption rampant at Zimbabwe’s shady drug rehabilitation centres

Two of Zimbabwe’s leading drug rehabilitation hubs, Matrix Rehabilitation Centre and Angel of Hope Foundation, are among a plethora of sprouting correctional centres that are increasingly taking the limelight for human rights abuses and corruption. .

This emerged during an investigation supported by Information for Development Trust, a non-profit outfit promoting accountability journalism in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.

The investigation established that some of the victims at such detention centres who are being arbitrarily rounded up are as young as nine.
