Vice President Kembo Mohadi said the Emmerson Mnangagwa Government has opened up political space in the country allowing citizens and political parties to campaign freely and express their opinions without fear. He said this while addressing a symposium on peace and the 2018 harmonised elections organised by the University of Zimbabwe and the Election Resource Centre in Harare yesterday.
Said Mohadi:
The new dispensation has ushered in political freedom of expression, association and assembly so that candidates and parties can campaign without hindrance and have the opportunity to convey their messages to the voters. Regrettably, it is at the campaigns that inciting messages and hate speech can be relayed and trigger violent acts, which destabilise our communities. Such should be avoided. Collectively, let all use our preventative diplomacy, persuasion and alert potential conflict brewers about the consequences of incitement.

Who has been denying people that freedom in the first place
Mohadi- please respect us. We want a free and fair election, not token reforms. Level the playground by allowing the opposition access to public media, remove the soldiers in ZEC, remove the soldiers in the villages and the printing of the ballot paper should not be a guarded secret of ZANU PF and Chiguma. We are not going to accept half-baked measures. Elections should be conducted in a transparent way like in all SADC countries. Mhuri yeZimbabwe is suffering under the dictatorship and the military junta.
