POLICING THE STATE - Solidarity Peace Trust and IJR - November 2006
This report highlights the growth of police brutality in Zimbabwe since 2000, which has coincided with the rise of the democratic challenge to the state. Whereas in the 1990s it was possible to mass thousands of people on the streets for peaceful marches, State reaction to any such attempts is now swift and vicious.

"According to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zimbabwe Standard, 3 April), 36821 people voted in Beitbridge. If we break the 24hr voting day into minutes (1440mins) and into seconds, we get 86 400seconds.
So the speed of voting in a semi-rural constituency will be 86400/36821 or 2,34 seconds per person.
This beats the Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe record of 2002.
Beitbridge should be included in the Guinness Book of world records."   A Zimbabwean.
