Zimbabweans advised to stay home

Simba, a resident in Harare, said: "We are in uncharted waters. The military has been flighting their statement every few hours on radio and TV.  

"The usually controlled ZBC is now captured. Heavy military presence is causing a bit of tension in the country but no incidents of violence [yet]," he said.  

"We have been advised to stay home but it's generally safe. Roads toward parliament have been closed off. Some courts are not sitting today," the man said.  

He said he still intended on going about his daily business on Wednesday.
