An online news portal used an old picture of soldiers looting in Harare titled 'What are they doing?" with a caption, "It appears these soldiers joined looters in Harare. They later on caused havoc as they beat up and chased away revellers at night spots." The picture according to those in the know was for an incident which happened in 08/09. It is not clear as to the intentions of publishing the picture with the current wave of disturbances in Harare.

Some readers of the website were not ammused with some alleging that thats how journalists lie.

Mbuya Chikonaz said, "We have seen these before. Straight from the archives. But well tried.

Murevi wechokwadi said, "Mafaro usade kuda kutivhara nezvakapusa that picture is from the riots that caused the unity government like really kana usina nyaya do not post old shit."

Tash said, "Huh thats an old pic of the shop along jason moyo when soldiers went crazy paye...mafaro please

Mukandabhutsu said, "That picture you are trying to lie is from 2008 when the soldiers went on a rampage in the city center and now you are saying its a recent pictures of soldiers protesting lol."

rukudzo said, "You see how journalists lie. This picture was from 2008 way back.

Yona the Zanoid daid, "Mafaro unorova high grade mbanje."
