There are reports that a riot cop was earlier today stoned to death during a cat and mouse battle between riot police and civilians in Harare who were protesting against unwarranted roadblocks.
Harare’s eastern suburbs were this morning hit by violent protests that left hundreds of city-bound commuters stranded as angry crowds fought with police. Police responded by deploying armed police who then unleashed a terror of violence on the protesters.
But unconfirmed reports indicate that one police officer was killed in the tussle. Efforts to verify the reports were futile as police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba’s mobile phone went unanswered until the time of publication.
