30 Sep THE ECONOMIC COSTS OF POLICE BRUTALITY IN ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe witnessed social unrest reminiscent of the 1998 food riots between June and September 2016, characterised by a wave of demonstrations, protests, stayaways, and a national shutdown across all major cities and towns. The social unrest emanated from unresolved national grievances over corruption and the deterioration of social and economic conditions. Social movements, born out of the realisation that the state had been unresponsive to formal and informal complaints mechanisms, facilitated the mobilisation of citizens to make their voices heard by protesting against poor governance and lack of accountability.
