A soldier clearly fires live ammunition at protesting citizens

Own Correspondent|MDC veteran politician David Coltart has questioned the Kgalema Montlante Commission’s recommendation that the army carries out internal disciplinary process on soldiers who killed people in Harare on the 1st of August 2018.

Clearly identified army officer shooting at innocent citizens.

Coltart notes the futility of the process since the army commanders told the commission that their officers did not kill anyone.

“Aside from the serious breach of due process if the military are not prosecuted for murder what was the Motlanthe Commission thinking about recommending “internal investigations” when they heard army commanders denying their soldiers had killed people? I am profoundly shocked,” said Coltart.
