Ezra Tshisa Sibanda reports violence in Lower Gweru

Some youth thugs brutally attacked Teachers, School children and passersby at Shagari Primary School, Lower Gweru using axes, machetes, knives & bricks for no apparent reasons. 13 people injured and 2 in serious condition, a female teacher and a passerby who have been referred to Gweru General Hospital. These thugs recently terrorised people in Maboleni, Lower Gweru where they injured a number of people and caused extensive damage to the business shops. The most astonishing thing is the failure by police to bring these cowards to justice.

 On visiting the police post l discovered there are over 6 reports of violence perpetrated by the same thugs and yet no action taken. The sickening thing is the amount of time taken by police getting statements from victims instead of allowing them to get urgent medical attention. The clinics don't help any injured persons unless they have police report which has been proven to be a nightmare to get. Just dropped the terrified teachers back to school and they are really scared. (Sibanda who is running for a Member of Parliament in of the area, directly reported this on face book.)
