Harare - Police in Zimbabwe on Tuesday picked up 19 members of a prominent rights group as they were playing a game of netball in the southern city of Masvingo, the group claimed.

The members of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) were picked up by police detectives in the afternoon. Those arrested, including some men, were being held without charge at Masvingo Central Police Station, said the WOZA statement.

Police had not confirmed the arrests. A peaceful demonstration against high prices by about 300 WOZA members in the eastern city of Mutare on Monday took place without any arrests.

WOZA frequently hold demonstrations throughout the country to protest worsening conditions.

There were shortages of most basics, including cooking oil, bread and meat, while inflation was the highest in the world at well more than 4 500%.
