Zimbabwe police clear streets ahead of anti-government protests

Zimbabwe’s security forces have cleared people off the streets of the capital, Harare, and forced shops to close, a day before planned anti-corruption protests.

As a result, the city’s streets are unusually deserted, reports the BBC’s Shingai Nyoka.

Citizens have been warned not to take part in the demonstrations on Friday. 

Government officials have accused Western governments of being behind the protests.
