ZRP has confirmed there was a demonstration at Belvedere teachers college where some returnees are quarantined, The Herald reports. The demo reportedly started when the returnees were asked to pay US$65 for compulsory Covid-19 testing at a private health facility.
The returnees responded by putting soil in the sadza as they demanded answers why they were being asked to pay for COVID-19 testing when it was supposed to be done for free.
ZRP National Police spokesperson Assitant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident and said:
There was a demonstration at the isolation centre in which a group of people quarantined there put soil in sadza plates as a way of airing their grievances to the authorities.
Police were informed and reacted swiftly. No one was injured during the demonstration. We have since launched an investigation into the incident.
