This is just the beginning, there is certainly more coming as long as nothing is done to end the worsening economic meltdown in the country.
This is what everyone with half a brain had feared and could and should have been avoided if only Mugabe and Mnangagwa had accepted that they have failed to govern and stepped aside peacefully. Instead the two tyrant have rigged elections and used brute violence to remain in power. Now the violent street protest will finally force them to step down and they will be held to account for all the destructions, injuries and deaths the violence will bring!
