Choppies loses P95m as Zim shops burnt, looted

Zimbabweans embarked on a three-day national stayaway recently to protest the shock fuel prices increase, but the peaceful protests turned violent with soldiers unleashed on protestors. Human rights organisations in the country said up to 12 people were killed with hundreds of others beaten up, tortured and jailed, as authorities crushed the protests.

Police and military officials in that country have since blamed the deaths on criminals and rogue elements within their own ranks, whom they say stole uniforms and committed violent acts on citizens.
