By Own Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Republic Police has apologised to journalists over police conduct at Bronte hotel in Harare where they ordered them not to cover an MDC Alliance Presser.

Batton stick wielding riot police officers stormed Bronte hotel Friday afternoon around 2pm where journalists were gathered for an MDC Alliance press conference and started ordering them out of the venue.

The police officers, circled the journalists as if they wanted to attack them while at the same time banging on their shields and ordering them out of the venue.

The officers, who were in the company of their unidentified superiors were later chased away from the venue by former minister Simon Khaya Moyo and the press conference went ahead.
