Govt Mulls 'Vigorous' Response To MDC's Planned Protests

The government has warned the opposition MDC over planned protests, saying that it is ready to take both pre-emptive and remedial measures to ensure peace in the country.

The threat follows MDC president Nelson Chamisa’s remarks during the just-ended party Congress that it will mobilise supporters for street protests to force the government to address the economic implosion.

Speaking during a media conference in Harare on Sunday, Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Ambassador Cain Mathema said:

Against the background of opposition led bloody demonstrations on 1st August last year and again between 14th and 16th January this year, the government has noted and treats with seriousness, threats by MDC-Alliance and its leader Mr Nelson Chamisa that: ‘As soon as MDC-Alliance congress ends, it will be war’.

This intemperate and inciteful language, clearly conveying an intention to breach national peace through public violence, disorder, looting and destruction of property, deserves unqualified condemnation by all peace-loving Zimbabweans, and unequivocal censure by genuine democrats and friends of Zimbabwe.
