In an interview, Zimbabwe Republic Police commander for this year’s harmonised elections Senior Assistant Commissioner Erasmus Makodza warned MDC Alliance members against violence during tomorrow’s demonstration.
MDC Alliance is holding a demonstration tomorrow over electoral reforms. Said Makodza:
What we are saying as police is that some people might risk not voting while in custody. Some people might lose out for what they think they are fighting for while they are in custody. That message should be loud and clear. Generally, as police we are saying now that the electoral courts have been set up and the dates have been promulgated, anyone found wanting in terms of violation of the law should be accounted for and should be able to face the full wrath of the law. The moment someone commits an offence during those demonstrations, he /she should be able to account for his or her actions.
