Farai Dziva|Justice Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi’ s remarks indicating that government has authorized the police to shoot machete gangs have ignited widespread debate.

Ziyambi has been criticised for his remarks which indicated that the government has given the police authority to shoot machete gangs popularly known as Mashurugwi.

The Minister in an audio-recorded interview with VOA said the killing of terrorists was common worldwide.

He said:
Even in America terrorists are killed, machete criminals are terrorists, I talked to the Minister of Homes Affairs for the police to shoot them.

The people called Mashurugwi will be arrested, we will deny them bail because they would threaten their victims after bail application.”
