According to a ZimLive report, the group of “robbers’ moved around in Nissan vehicles owned by the CIO around Harare while they terrorised residents.
Despite the growing evidence that security forces deployed around the country have been involved in criminal activities, the government has stoically rejected the allegations. The government has blamed the opposition MDC and ‘thugs’ for the crimes.
