"The Incident Was Unfortunate, Regrettable." - ED's Spokesperson As Police Confiscate Farmers Goods
George Charamba the spokesperson of President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said that the police’s confiscation of Mutare farmers’ goods was regrettable.
A video that circulated on social media suggests that police raided Mutare farmers on the 3rd of this month around 3 am and confiscated their goods arguing that they were defying the national lockdown decree.

Can’t say just yet until after our Monday prayers. The incident was unfortunate, regrettable.
