It is said that community members felt that the presence of police officers would reduce incidences of violence during the consultation as this province has a history of violence such as that of 2008.
Hwange Outreach teams are said to be stranded in Hwange as they do not have fuel and allowances to travel to the meeting points. They said that they are still waiting for the resources, which also include cameras and voice recorders, from Bulawayo since yesterday. Residents are still wondering if the process will start as the teams seem not to be informed about the goings on.
