Three schools in Norton, namely Vimbai, Chiedza and Norton 2 primary schools turned away pupils on the first day of school on 9 May. Only parents who bank with Agri-Bank were given payment plans although their children were still sent back home.

It is alleged that the municipal police threw a spike infront of a moving vehicle which had loaded passengers at an undesignated area. In an attempt to evade the spikes the taxi operator hit vendors and other pedestrians. In retaliation vendors vandalised the taxi that had been used by municipal police and later set it ablaze. The Zimbabwe Republic Police later came and fired three warning shots and used tear gas to disperse the angry mob.
