By A Correspondent-The police have arrested nine former war liberation fighters for demanding their pensions.

The nine were arrested on Wednesday and will spend their second night in police detention.

They were arrested for allegedly protesting against payment of poor pension, which they equated to bread crumbs.

Isso Madzivanyika, Nyasha Manyana, Daphne Kanoti, Shoorai Nyamangodo, Faith Chamanda, Ruvimbo Sphyina Maphosa, Jordan Nderezina, Maron Mabvunzaneyi Mazikana and Wonderful Sabarauta are the nine war veterans.

They are being represented by Paida Saurombe and Chawona Kanoti, from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
