This incident occurs at a time when the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is yet to resolve the case of Tinashe Edson Chitsunge, who was fatally stoned last week by suspected ZANU PF supporters in Glen Norah. Police’s latest update said 10 suspects had been arrested and were assisting police with the investigations.

As Zimbabwe approaches the harmonised elections scheduled to take place on August 23, 2023, reports of violence and voter intimidation have been increasing. Concerns are arising that these acts may undermine the fairness, freedom and credibility of the upcoming polls.
