3. Patson Dzamara stagged a one-man demo during Independence Day Celebrations: At the 2016 Independence Day Celebrations in April, Dzamara stood before the then President Mugabe with a placard written, “Where is Itai Dzamara?”

This was not the last time he would stage a one-man demo over the disappearance of his brother as he went on to stage another demonstration in October 2016.

Dzamara went to the entrance of Parliament Building and vowed he would not be silenced until the whereabouts of his missing brother Itai were known.
His demonstration, however, coincided with the sitting of the National Assembly for the weekly question time, was brief, as he was quickly apprehended and taken away by parliamentary security staff.

4. He did one month of community service: Dzamara and his co-accused Makomborero Haruziviishe served one month of community service.

The duo was convicted of defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

A Harare Magistrate sentenced the two to 12 months imprisonment of which 3 months were suspended for 5 years on condition of good behaviour and remaining 9 months imprisonment were suspended on condition that Dzamara and Haruziviishe perform 315 hours of community service.

Dzamara and Haruziviishe had completed 1 month of community service with the remaining 8 being suspended after a High Court appeal were filed successfully.

5. Patson Dzamara Got Involved In Activism Following His Brother Itai Dzamara’s Disappearance: Patson was brother to journalist Itai Dzamara who has been missing since 2015. Patson got involved in activism largely as a result of his missing brother.
