State Mounts Armed Road Blocks

(Posted 11:00am)

First eye witness report

The ZANU(PF) state has mounted road-blocks on all roads leading out of Harare’s townships and on all roads leading into the city centre - hours after revoking permission for the march to go ahead.

All public transport vehicles (buses and kombis) are being pulled over, passengers made to disembark and thorough searches made on every single passenger and vehicle.

Armed police and soldiers are patrolling and demanding IDs from pedestrians. Anyone caught without an ID is being severly beaten up.

More to follow later…
