VIOLENCE reared its ugly head again when MDC-T and Zanu-PF youths clashed in Chitungwiza yesterday. They attacked each other with stones, knobkerries and iron bars.
The clashes started in the morning at Chibuku Stadium where MDC-T was scheduled to hold a rally.
Riot police fought running battles with the youths as they tried to quell the violence.
At some point, the youths attacked policemen with stones.
Police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka said they were still investigating the violence and no arrests had been made by late last night.
He said police would “ruthlessly” deal with perpetrators of violence.

MPs seek exemption on utility bills
From Zvamaida Murwira in Victoria Falls
PARLIAMENTARIANS want to be exempted from paying Zesa utility bills saying they cannot afford the tariffs amid serious fears of disconnections.
Zesa has however, stood firm saying the request was untenable as it would result in consumers subsiding the legislators.
Mberengwa East MP, Cde Makhosini Hlongwane (Zanu-PF), said the power utility should consider either a full or a partial exemption for legislators in light of their poor remuneration.
He said this during a pre-budget seminar for parliamentarians in Victoria Falls.
“Can MPs have an exemption, even a partial exemption from paying electricity? If that is not done, most of them might suffer the embarrassment of having their power disconnected,” he said, drawing applause from fellow legislators.
