 More than 14,000 people have been arrested in Zimbabwe's capital in the past two weeks in a new police crackdown, state media reports. They are mostly petty traders, street children and illegal currency and fuel dealers, police say. The police say the operation is designed to stop people returning to central Harare. "[The latest drive, dubbed Operation Siyapambili/Hatidzokereshure - No Going Back] aims to make follow-ups to monitor the city so that we deal with any of those who are returning to the city and conducting shady dealings," police spokesperson Loveless Rupere told the Herald newspaper. |
