Zimbabwe City Evicts Families Amid Pandemic

Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE, ZIMBABWE - Zimbabwe authorities are being criticized for
   evicting hundreds of families of squatters amid the COVID-19 pandemic
   and struggling economy. Legal experts say the destruction of their
   homes in the capital this month, leaving many homeless in a rainy
   season, is a violation of the constitution.

   Fifty-two-year-old Bigboy Mabhande and his family are among hundreds of
   families of alleged squatters who are now homeless in Zimbabwe's
   capital.
