Police block Bulawayo demo

Police have refused to clear a demonstration by civic society, citing the grouping's failure to file their application with stipulated time.

The protest, under the banner #ThisConstitution, Our Constitution Campaign was targeted at compelling President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu-PF government to respect the Constitution.

It had been slated for Thursday, November 17, at the City Hall and the group intended to march from here into the Bulawayo Central Business District.
