By Farai D Hove| War veterans stormed party leader Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Munhumutapa offices in Harare Tuesday morning in a mass demo to declare that they did not receive anything in 1997 when former president Robert Mugabe dished out $50,000 mass payments to each one of them in a development that instantly destroyed Zimbabwe’s economy.

One of their leaders screamed out to him: “shall we die without anything in our hands? You promised us in 1997 in a statutory instrument but up to now there is nothing you have released.”

Another made a veiled attack at Mnangagwa in person saying, “the top shefs are the ones who are eating well while we wail in poverty.”

By 11am, the protest had ended with no arrests as seen in others such as the teachers’ foot march from Mutare to Harare which saw the police harass the teachers at the weekend. – THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY….
