July 31 2014 afternoon, MDC-T youths gathered at Harvest House, their party’s headquarters along Nelson Mandela Street in Harare. Their mission, to launch what the MDC-T refers to as ‘a series of nationwide protests to force government to deliver on the Zanu PF promise to create 2,2 million jobs.’

In its poll manifesto, Zanu PF-which promised over 2 million jobs- has, a year after winning elections, not been able to fullfill most of its pledges as the country’s economic woes- characterised by company closures and a crippling liquidity crunch- continues to worsen.

The MDC-T youths demonstration on Thursday afternoon marked the first – in a long time – confrontation between protesters and the police.
