Harare: Zimbabwe police have arrested more than 30 people during the low-key nationwide strike called by the opposition MDC.

The arrests, which came amid a strike called by the opposition that went largely unheeded, showed security forces were continuing a crackdown amid a political crisis stemming from delayed presidential poll results.
