Ray Nkosi| Police this morning fought running battles with vendors in Nelson Mandela and Kwame Nkruma avenue.

The vendors are resisting the confiscation of their wares by Harare City Council Municipal Police in the Central Business District (CBD) and a court hearing set for this afternoon.

Police violently fired teargas across the CBD to disperse the vendors many who ended up retreating.

Business was temporarily brought to a halt as shop owners closed their shops fearing that the chaos could destroy their goods.

Harare City Council is carrying out an operation to remove vendors from the city’s pavements.

 

 

VISET’s Urgent High Court Application to Be Heard This Afternoon

  1. Thank you sir for what you wrote,and Doc is sorry for the late reply.But,allow Doc to say:

    1.I never made any references to Zanu in support of or against…But I’m open to correction.So what’s up bro?
    Next time learn to read before Attacking anyone.It makes you look backward.

    2.Actually history has shown that the person who is on the the helm can bring us food on the table sir or hunger…Our current predicament being an example.

    Unless you are saying,the world over people are crazy for voting ….The chosen leader and his policies and attitudes can bring us all food or ruin….But I guess you know more about economics than poor Doc.And I guess you know more about economics and politics than the world.

    3.Actually having a Ndebele or Shona president does bring tribal pride sir….And a sense of being special.But I guess you know more about that than the world , because they seem to think it gives them some special status….But who is Doc to judge your reasoning.

    4.Despite the shortcomings I have listed as 1 to 4…. I thank you for your advice Yes ,I mustn’t allow Dimwits like this guy to drag me to his level.But Doc is just as childish and at times I can’t resist my self .But thank you for the final word of advice.

  2. Unapolegetic Hater is not stopping anytime. Trust me we have been at it since last year. We two have kept you busy. Its heart warming that not all ndebeles hate shonas and not all shonas condoned gukurahundi. If you are ndebele, then you are the first one I have seen trying to unite the two tribes so we can concentrate on our one true enemy.

  3. I am not a your brother. I don’t share brotherhood with Tshonas. Just a point of correction!

  4. SHUT UP JHON U SOUND LIKE A PERSON WHO IS AT WORK SITTING ON A COMPUTER POSTING WHAT U HAVE ….PEOPLE DONT HAVE JOBS OUT THERE THEY ARE TRYING TO HAVE A BETTER MARKET CZ EVEN THE DESIGNATED PLACES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE UNEMPLOYED 90% OF ZIMBABWEANS

  5. All our troubles started when the Tshona ancestors went into hiding in caves and allowed the white colonialists to fly their flag of conquer, to mark their new capital of Salisbury at the Salibury Kopjie!

    In the meantime our Great King Lobhengula and his uMthwakazi nation were left untouched, as they scared the shit out of both the Tshona and their newly found white masters. It was only later the Sell out Tshonas collaborated with their white colonialist masters in invading our Kingdom. The rest is history!

  6. Heyi wena; o tsoa kae mona? a ke lwale nna; A ke kole.

    O seka bhora moreki – a kere wena gaona chelete. O seka bhora moreki!!

  7. Dear Colleagues,

    Going through the comments of some of you who appear to be very poorly educated , a simple solution is at hand. Lets all meet up in Harare and have a go at each other. I mean a propeer good old fashion fist fight should help relieve all this mounting tension.What say you comrades?

    I will personally ref these matches.

  8. At least I don’t hate the whole tribe. I just hate the secessionist that hate shonas.

  9. ALL OUR TROUBLES STARTED WHEN LOBENGULA WAS GIVEN A PRAM & A WHISTLE IN EXCHANGE TO DIGGING A HOLE BY THE WHITE MAN. HOW STUPID

  10. PLEASE IGNORE THIS SHONA HATER GUY. REPLYING TO HIM SHOWS YOU ARE FALLING INTO HIS TRAP. STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM PLEASE!

  11. Just ignore him. He will get tired of his sick rants when he realises he is getting no attention.

  12. So what do you gain by writting such stupid drivel? Stop replying to this sick man and do something better with your life. Being Shona does not make you immune from anything, neither does being Ndebele nor any other tribe.

  13. The sooner you realise that your backward thinking that because Zanu internal tribal politics is in no way related to any natural order, the better for you. Zimbabwe is in turmoil and everyone is suffering, shona, ndebele, venda etc. Having a shona president doesnt put food on your table my friend and neither does it make being shona any more special than any other tribe. Dont allow this sick Shona hater to pass on his disease to you by bothering to reply to him, you are fuelling his sick ego

  14. And you think you are any better than him with that ‘Mthwakazi monkeys’ phrase. You are both sick in the head and must seek help before its too late.

  15. Goon Zanu PF isnt event 100 years. Mthwakazi monkeys must have taught you how to count.

  16. You admire Tshonas. You hate the fact that you weren’t born one. The ndebele women love us and we love them too. We love all of Zimbabwean women except the Mthwakazi fucks.

  17. YOU ARE NOT WISE.CITY COUNCIL IS TO BLAME NOT VENDOURS .HOW CAN CABBAGE AND WATER SHORTAGE BE THE STORY OF THE DAY.

  18. It’s nt about Shona or Ndebele but about the country. City center is nt the place to sell vegetables this action should have been taken long back but all this while v were sleeping. Selling vegi on street is health hazodus.

  19. Is that so? Maybe i should start hating All ndebeles. In that case my friend, the feeling is mutual.

  20. Ok, i hear you. How about those who are not Shonas, what are they good at? Give examples please.

  21. Mugabe says zimasset was a success in creating employment although most of it is in the informal sector, like theae vendors. So why evict them now from their places of business?

  22. ndebeles, personally stayed with them several years. A sorrowfull tribalistic lot. shame, always whining daily. be careful you will die poor with a ball of hate in your hearts, destined for hell. get a life
