Harare's central business district (CBD) descended into chaos yesterday, as suspected Zanu PF youths, masquerading as disgruntled vendors, unleashed a reign of terror against ordinary people and shops looting and damaging property, as they engaged in, on the face of it, running battles with the police.
Armed with stones, the group which has since been disowned by the National Vendors' Union of Zimbabwe (Navuz) and social movement #Tajamuka/Sesijikile marched through the city indiscriminately attacking people and smashing vehicle windscreens.
The suspected Zanu PF terror group circumvented the police, which is uncharacteristic of vendors and opposition party activists whenever they conduct their peaceful demonstrations. Before the group was unleashed, some vendors believed to be linked to Zanu PF clashed with municipal police officers.
The fights lasted for less than 20 minutes, before the unknown "terror group" comprising mainly of young, clean-shaven men was let loose. #Tajamuka spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi said the terror group's mode of attack was characteristic of Zanu PF. He claimed the group was sponsored to cause bloodshed so that the police could wantonly arrest opposition activists.
