Taxi drivers protest killing of fellow cabman

HARARE – Taxi drivers in the capital on Wednesday staged a demonstration at Town House over the killing of a fellow cabman, allegedly by municipal police officers. 

Around 3:30pm hordes of taxi drivers drove through with a coffin containing the remains of Goliath Dick hanging on the taxi he used to drive.

Dick was allegedly strangled to death by a Harare municipal police officer after he refused to pay a bribe for parking at undesignated parking bay.

According to a citizen reporter on the scene the angry protestors cruised around the central business district, blocked roads while revving their cars.

Dick was buried in Banket today.
