Public transport drivers protest against road blocks in Zimbabwe
- 8 years ago
Zimbabwe police on Monday fired teargas and water cannons and beat up protesting public transport drivers, amid rising unrest against economic woes as well as President Robert Mugabe's long rule.
The drivers were striking over police roadblocks they say have fuelled corruption as the economy weakens further with banks running out of cash and widespread food shortages caused by a harsh drought.
