There was drama in Chivhu yesterday when members of the
Zimbabwe National Army stormed Seequick Shop and beat up two CID Police
officers who allegedly did not properly
put on their face masks.
The soldiers who were armed randomly assaulted everyone in
the shop without asking questions.
The Mirror is reliably informed that the two officers and
three civilians who were also assaulted have since reported their cases at
Chivhu Police Station under RRB numbers 2187968; 2187969; 2187970; 2187971 and
2187972.
A melee almost broke out when the cops tried to resist the
soldiers by threatening to hit back.
Efforts to get a comment from National Police Spokesperson
Assistant Commissioner Paul Themba Nyati were futile but a memo seen by The
Mirror shows that Detective Constable Austin Chikwinya and his colleague Sam
Mutausi were buying groceries when the soldiers arrived.
The soldiers clapped the cops in the face with open palms
as the former tried to identify themselves.
A day earlier the same soldiers together with six others
assaulted people randomly at Zimbabwe Hotel including the owner Kirsty Muzana
(42) and his wife Eva (32) for not switching off lights at the hotel building.
The report says the same soldiers assaulted James James
(21) at Engen Service Station following a misunderstanding. Masvingo Mirror
