MDC-T, Zanu-PF youths clash in Mbare

Bloody clashes rocked Harare's Mbare suburb yesterday when suspected Zanu-PF youths blocked opposition MDC-T youths from holding a scheduled campaign rally in the suburb's Ground Number 5.

Violence broke out when opposition youths, who had booked the venue and obtained a police clearance letter to use the facility, found Zanu-PF youths playing a social soccer match and refusing to vacate.

About 30 MDC-T youths were reportedly injured in the skirmishes with others hospitalized after being pelted with stones and bricks.
