Harare Province A man in Harare who was a guard at a beer hall wearing MDC t-shirt was beaten to death after being required to produce proof of his party affiliation by Zanu (PF) supporters. Police investigating, no arrests made. He was one of five MDC supporters killed in three days. Zanu (PF) supporters and war veterans killed six victims at Chenjerai Hunzvi’s surgery in Budiriro, Harare. Forty-six were arrested and remanded in custody to June 2000. Mashonaland Central Province ZRP shot a war veteran in Mazowe West in May. There are two contrary accounts of the incident. The BBC and the Daily News say that 200 police, reinforced by Support Unit opened fire in selfdefence as Mvurwi police station was attacked by 200 members of a war veteran militia armed with petrol bombs, knobkerries, sticks and stones. They were allegedly trucked in a convoy led by Border Gezi. The Herald says that ZRP used only teargas and pepper spray and found a man injured whom they took to hospital where he died. Both agree there was a violent confrontation as members of the war veteran militia sought to liberate one of their number arrested for disarming a ZRP officer (after failure to do so in similar attack the previous day).
