Dzamara ghost haunts Mugabe

The "ghost" of missing journalist-cum-human rights activist Itai Dzamara yesterday came back to haunt President Robert Mugabe's government when hundreds of angry protesters threatened to storm Parliament Building to express their displeasure at State security agencies' lack of urgency in investigating the matter.

Anti-riot police and protestors faced off for over 30 minutes as tension swelled, with the angry crowd demanding to enter the building, where the matter also generated heated debate as opposition MPs queried why Dzamara remained unaccounted for a year after his alleged abduction by suspected State security agents.

The toyi-toying placard-waving demonstrators brought business to a halt in the central business district as they approached the Zanu-PF headquarters, State security offices at Chaminuka Building and Munhumutapa Building.
