POLICE reportedly fired teargas in Mbare on Saturday at
Killer T’s birthday bash venue, leaving guests scurrying for cover.
With the ban on public gatherings in place, the birthday
bash was a-strictly-by-invitation event but resulted in hordes of people
turning up.
Reports from Mbare say that police fired teargas canisters
to disperse the crowd that had gathered around the place where the event was
being held.
Sources who preferred anonymity because of their closeness
to the chanter told the Daily News that some of the well-to-do guests had to
temporarily vacate the place.
“Ghetto youths could not accept being denied entry and they
had to gather around. This resulted in the police coming in to disperse them
and fired teargas canisters which resulted in chaos,” said the source.
Killer T’s manager
told the Daily News that all went well despite the disturbances which arose
after the gathering.
“The birthday ceremony went on well only that there were
some people who came and gathered around trying to cause problems. The police
came in and helped us disperse the people,” Killer T’s manager, Kudzai Biston,
told the Daily News.
Event organiser Mahwindo described the incident as an act
of sabotage by people with hate towards Killer T. She alleged some people were calling the
police to stop the birthday.
In a live video, she said they had clearance to host the
event in Mbare.
The chanter, on the other hand, had the blessings of the
elderly in the neighbourhood having reportedly treated them with some goodies
as part of his birthday celebrations. Daily News
