HARARE: Zimbabwe's safety forces on Monday reported incidents of looting and illegal profession of farms and homes following the resignation closing week of former President Robert Mugabe and the inauguration of his successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
However, the military and police also said in a joint commentary that the "situation in our country has returned to normalcy" after a crisis all through which the military staged a takeover and enormous crowds demonstrated towards Mugabe on the end of his 37-year rule.
Police, in large part absent from the streets of the capital, Harare, all through the tumultuous management transition, will think its position "as stipulated in the constitution" and conduct joint patrols with the military, including within the central industry district, the commentary said.
Many Zimbabweans applauded the military for its position in Mugabe's resignation on Nov. 21, however resent the police for alleged corruption. At Mnangagwa's inauguration on Friday, army commander Gen. Constantino Chiwenga drew cheers from the crowd of tens of hundreds of spectators, whilst the police commissioner, Gen. Augustine Chihuri, was booed.
Mnangagwa, as soon as a detailed confidant of Mugabe whose Nov. 6 dismissal as vice president resulted in Zimbabwe's momentous management alternate, has suggested people not to settle outdated scores as a new govt seeks to rebuild the economically suffering nation. However, the commentary from the protection forces said there have been some issues.
"Law enforcement agents are already receiving reports of looting and illegal occupation of other people's properties, particularly farms and houses," it said. The commentary described such movements as prison and towards the spirit of reconciliation that the brand new govt seeks to construct, saying they "will be met by the full wrath of the law."
Land is a contentious issue in Zimbabwe, the place Mugabe's govt, beginning around 2000, initiated land seizures and evictions of farmers from the rustic's white minority, which relinquished power in 1980 after a guerrilla conflict by means of black nationalists.
Mugabe said the often-violent reform program was supposed to redistribute assets to poor blacks, however many prime farms instead ended up within the fingers of ruling ZANU-PF birthday party leaders, birthday party loyalists, safety chiefs, relatives and cronies. More not too long ago, the location was further complicated by means of rifts within the ruling birthday party that resulted in the military intervention and the victory of Mnangagwa over a faction linked to Mugabe's wife Grace, who up to now had presidential ambitions.
Mnangagwa in his inauguration speech said farmers can be compensated for the seized land however said this system itself would no longer be reversed.
