Jestina Mukoko was abducted December 3, 2008 by armed men in a pre-dawn raid of her home in Norton, about 40 kilometers south of the Zimbabwean capital Harare and her whereabouts remain unknown.
The government of President Robert Mugabe should do all it can to ensure the safety of Jestina Mukoko and ensure that the human rights monitor and former broadcaster is reunited with her family.
To me as a journalist, Jestina's abduction is an attack on press freedom in Zimbabwe and the Southern African Development Community as well as the African Union should press the Mugabe administration to release Jestina Mukoko unconditionally.
