There is a thug in civilian clothes roaming around with an AK47 (reportedly Bulawayo Road near Kuwadzana). Unclear whether he is really a civilian or military/police in plain clothes, but what is certain is that there is absolutely NO place for this in Zimbabwe. #shutdownZimbabwe pic.twitter.com/AzhVzX8iiD

Many have heeded @ZctuZimbabwe’s call for a national stay away. This is Seke Road this morning—the road leading to Harare CBD from some of the city’s largest townships. Hardly a car in sight. The masses have had enough.
