Zimbabwe president vows probe of security force misconduct

HARARE, Jan 22, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa on
Tuesday vowed to investigate the security forces after they launched a brutal
crackdown on protesters, activists and organisers of demonstrations that
erupted last week.

“Violence or misconduct by our security forces is unacceptable and a
betrayal of the new Zimbabwe,” he said on Twitter. “Chaos and insubordination
will not be tolerated. Misconduct will be investigated. If required, heads
will roll.”
