By Paul Nyathi|Founding director of the National Vendors Union of Zimbabwe, NAVUZ, Stan Zvorwadza has appreciated the violent removal without notice of vendors from a vending point next to Harare Central Police Station.

Speaking in an interview after the evictions on Friday, Zvorwadza said that the vendors had to be removed as they were operating on police private land.

The former #tajamuka activist who this week expressed his new love for the ruling ZANU PF which he fought against for a long time, condemned the vendors for resisting the eviction leading to the violent clashes with the police.

“That area is private property belonging to the police who use it as their car park and no one can just operate from private land,” said Zvorwadza.

Over 500 vendors who have operating in the area for a number of years were removed by police from the area in a bitter clash which saw a police officer being thoroughly beaten by the vendors.

Zvorwadza who for a long time has been up against police brutality on vendors would not comment on the bashing of the innocent citizens by the police.
