Addressing journalists on Wednesday in Harare, MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa warned the Emmerson Mnangagwa led Zanu-PF that if it rigs Monday’s election it will face the music adding that young people are restless and willing to go the extra mile for their freedom.
Chamisa also denied reports that he is inciting violence and said the MDC Allaince should be hailed as peace icons. Said Chamisa:
They are afraid of the capacity that we have, indeed if we are to say this country is to be ungovernable starting tomorrow, Mnangagwa will not be able to control it. We have the capacity to control. We must be acknowledged as peace icons, we have managed to even smoke a peace pipe with a crocodile who is so violent and arrogant and that we must be appreciated for that because we have tried to build and contain the pressures of the young people. Young people out there are restless. They are desperate and they are willing to go the extra mile for their freedom. We have the capacity to take instruments of violence, but that is not in our DNA. Our DNA is peace and working together. If they rig or cheat, they will face the music that they must know, it is not a threat, but a good promise of exercising our instruments of peace to make sure that we are able to move together as a country, so that we build a one united nation.
