‘No compensation yet for Aug 2018 shooting victims’

CRISIS in Coalition Zimbabwe (CiCZ) has urged government to account for the August 1, 2018 post-election shootings during which six civilians were shot dead by soldiers, and compensate survivors.

Speaking at a discussion on justice for the August 1, 2018 killings on Wednesday in Harare, CiCZ spokesperson Peter Mutasa said:  “Nothing has been done, there has not been communication to the families of the deceased and the victims, and in our respective view the government needed  to have a structured approach to dealing with this issue.

“There cannot just be pronouncements in the Press as if they don’t know the families of the deceased, their names and addresses.”
