Violent mentally-disturbed persons invade Byo CBD

Speaking to Southern Eye, Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association secretary for administration, Thabani Ndlovu, said the public and police should work together in apprehending mentally-challenged people and take them to Ingutsheni Hospital for treatment.
