Police in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, have used tear gas and water cannons to break up a protest by minibus drivers.
The unrest began when drivers erected barricades in a protest against harassment and roadblocks by police demanding bribes.
When security forced stepped in, some local residents joined the protesters and threw stones at police.
Some demonstrators are reported to have been beaten up. Thirty people have been arrested.

Critics accuse him of using violence and rigging during recent elections - allegations he denies.
