5 injured as protesters clash with police

At least 5 people were injured when anti-riot police and protesters clashed in Harare’s central business district on Friday 29 September.

It appears there was a police swoop on illegal forex dealers, although it’s not entirely clear if this triggered the violence. Tajamuka/Sesjikile were also demonstrating against cash shortages. A video posted on social media shows riot police on a truck speeding down a central Harare road as what sounds like gunshots ring out and people scurry for safety.
