A ZIMRA warehouse in Beitbridge has been burnt as protests over the ban on imports continue in the border town and across the South African border.
Three people have since been arrested, with the police and army now in full force in the town.
Shops were closed for the better part of today as residents protested against the ban on imports.
Pastor Evan Mawarire, the man behind #ThisFlag, today said "the Beitbridge revolt is a sign that the citizens will not be silenced."
