Police in Lupane have blocked an MDC-T rally despite a court order allowing for it to take place.
35 police officers all in riot gear and guns besieged the venue at St Paul's and disrupted proceedings. The officers ordered the women who were preparing food to evacuate the place and dismissed 968 members who were already at the venue at 10:30am.
Police also blocked Morgan Tsvangirai's tour of St Paul's Mission Hospital. Tsvangirai is on a government work programme visit to Matabeleland North Province. On Thursday, he was in Tsholotsho to assess the business situation in the region before going to Binga on Friday and Lupane today.
