Fact one, the people who led last week’s riots, particularly in Chitungwiza, were dominantly MDC Alliance youths.

Fact two, the youths are well known in the area; some for housebreaking, taking illegal drugs and menacing the commuting public through touting.

Fact three, most of them were said to have been taking cheap intoxicating substances threatening that there would be no peace until their mission was accomplished.

Fact four, unlike previous unsanctioned demonstrations where rioters moved in groups targeting Government linked properties in the city-centre, these hoodlums held fort in localised stations targeting even the general public and their businesses.
