Mbare Vendors Resist Forced Evictions, Declare War Against Police
22 June 2021
By A Correspondent- Informal traders in Mbare whose malls were destroyed by the government last week are resisting to vacate the premises and have said that they would fight back anyone who would have approached them.
The state media reports that opposite Mupedzanhamo market, some vendors had moved away from the roadside and were now doing their business from an area at some flats nearby.
A handful of vendors were still displaying their goods in places that encroached into the road.
At the areas around Mupedzanhamo market and Mbare long-distance bus terminus, the vendors were observed engaging in running battles with police officers.
