Elections for youth chairperson were for the second time nullified due to Zanu PF infighting at area 3 Takawira district in
Epworth. Illegal settlers, who made up the bulk of the electorate, were divided between Victor Kagamba and Rosemary
Watch. After Kagamba won people protested and accusations were thrown at him as the illegal settlers claimed that he
was responsible for 2008 election violence and would cause violence again in 2018.

MDC-T youths, led by Harare Province Vice Chairperson, Paul Gorekore, staged a protest in Harare city center. The
youths were demonstrating against the introduction of bond notes and calling for the government to step down. The
protest started at the Main Post Office and was disrupted on arrival of riot police. This forced the protesters to flee and
as chaos ensued most shops and banks were forced to close.
