Heal Zimbabwe Trust condemns riotous youths

Heal Zimbabwe Trust has condemned the riotous youths who recently ran amok destroying stalls in Harare claiming to be vendors.

The trust said on September 27, 2016, a group of youths who were claiming to be vendors moved around in the Central Business Centre (CBD) throwing stones at shops and passer-byes.

"As the youths went on rampage, police appeared reluctant to make any arrests. During the incident, the youths also stoned the National Vendors' Union of Zimbabwe (NAVUZ) offices. While that was going on, riot police was harassing people and firing teargas at Harvest House, the MDC-T headquarters in Harare," said the trust.

"On the same day at around 22:30, Kudakwashe Kambakunje, the Harare chairperson for NAVUZ was abducted and brutally assaulted by unknown assailants who were driving two vehicles with no number plates. Kambakunje was abducted at the corner of Nkwame Nkrumah avenue and Chinhoyi street. Kambakunje was only found on 28 September 2016 badly injured close to a farm along old Mazowe road."
