Violent protests claimed lives on Monday January 15 as soldiers were deployed after the embattled government more than doubled fuel prices, sparking widespread anger.
Protesters burnt tyres and barricaded roads while cars were torched as demonstrations turned violent in the capital Harare and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second city.
"The government deployed the army today and they have been assaulting people. The people will retaliate if they are being attacked," Kay said.
She said before the government increased the petrol price, the country was already battling with a shortage of fuel.
"People were sleeping in queues, but there is no fuel available."
She said food prices had tripled. "That’s the food imported from South Africa. Cooking oil and russian sausages have not been available for the past month," Kay said.
"In the past, people have managed to survive but now they can’t. Ordinary citizens are battling."
