Remember these names
July 18th, 2005
These are two of the victims of ‘Operation Drive Out Trash’:
Fanadi Manyere, 5 years old, died on Tuesday 28/6/05 after being run over by a car on the Bulawayo road. Early in the morning the Police began beating people and chasing them away so they could proceed with ‘Operation Drive Out Trash’. The confusion caused people to cross the Bulawayo road running away from the police. That is when Fanadi was run over – he died a hour later.
Loice Mandigora, born 1968, died after having been exposed to cold weather, on Thursday, 30/6/05. She died at 5am. Her house had been destroyed by the Police. She was ill already and exposure to cold worsened her illness. She is survived by 3 children.
These people are not trash, they’re our fellow Zimbabweans. One day, justice will be done. We’re not going to forget them.
