Police in Harare have issued a stern warning to the main Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), which is planning to hold countrywide protests against poor pay and living conditions this month. On Sunday police spokesperson Wayne Bvudzijena told the state-controlled Sunday Mail newspaper that police were ready to deal with any unlawful acts after the ZCTUs general council set September 13 as the date for long-awaited street marches.
