Harare - Zimbabwean war veterans stormed a children's home earlier this week and terrorised workers and children over a private labour dispute, an administrator at the home said yesterday.

A group of self-styled veterans invaded Harare Children's Home on Tuesday and Wednesday and demanded to see senior executives, none of whom were there at the time, the administrator said. The veterans said they had come to settle a labour dispute involving a worker, she said.
