POLICE in Harare yesterday quelled a potentially riotous situation when they intervened and chased away rowdy Zanu-PF youths who had invaded residential stands belonging to 10 co-operatives in Glen Norah demanding $45 000 as compensation for the land.
The ruling party youths had claimed that the land was earmarked for a community self-help project initiated by the late former First Lady Sally Mugabe.
Chairman of one of the co-operatives George Mungure said they were trying all avenues including the President's Office, police and Local Government ministry to bring sanity to enable the stand owners to develop their houses.
The co-operatives affected by the Zanu-PF youths include Mudadirwa Zvobgo, First Avenue, Palmer Vision, Archgrace, National Railways of Zimbabwe, Tenzi Tinzwei, West Gin, Spring Field and Ingoni.
Zanu-PF youth league chairman for Harare province, Godwin Gomwe, was not immediately available for comment.
