This came after the Zanu-PF councillors unsuccessfully tried to have the mayoral election postponed to today. When the motion was denied by the MDC Alliance supporters who constitute the majority, the Zanu-PF councillors and their supporters started protesting and threatened journalists with violence for covering the protest. According to reports from Open Parly Zimbabwe’s Philemon Jambaya, a pregnant journalist was also shoved and pushed during the ensuing commotion. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
