Bulawayo Mayor, David Coltart posted the following on his X account. I am deeply concerned about the assault on our municipal police and vehicles in the early hours of yesterday. They were involved in clean up operations in the center of @CityofBulawayo when they were set upon by a lawless mob.
One of our staff members was badly hurt, had to be briefly hospitalized and lost a tooth. Four of our vehicles were damaged after rocks were thrown at them breaking windows and denting them.
This is unacceptable behaviour as we seek to clean up Bulawayo and restore order to it. I hope that @PoliZimbabwe will urgently and thoroughly investigate the matter and if possible bring the culprits to book.
If we are to restore law and order to our City this conduct cannot be allowed. Our vision is to establish a clean, orderly, world class City which will create an attractive environment for investors which in turn will provide jobs for those who are currently unemployed.
I call on all residents to work with us so that we can achieve this vision.Clean up yei vanhu vakaomerwa muzimbabwe umu ,hapana munhu anoda kuita vendor but situation inokutumaPeople are fed up with the way things are happening in Zimbabwe esp BulawayoKusiri kufa ndekupi at least they are fighting back
