Food crisis is reportedly rocking the country's prisons at the time when the government is embarked on moves to cause the arrest of people it accuses of civil disturbances in the advent of the escalation of strikes in the country.

The developments in the prisons was exposed by a political analyst and human rights activist Pedzisai Ruhanya who said when he visited the leader of #Tajamuka Promise Mkhwananzi in Harare Remand Prison he discovered serious food crisis.

"When I visited Promise Mkwananzi of #Tajamuka‬ at Harare Remand Prison on Sunday, I realized that there are quite a number of ordinary citizens arrested on 6 July who cant afford food and bail in the police cell," Ruhanya said.

"The little we gave Promise Mkwananzi was communally shared. Was very saddened to realize that most human rights activists and opposition leaders have cheap talk and do not know what solidarity entails."

Mkhwananzi was arrest in connection with the strikes which recently took place.
