Home Affairs Minister Obert Mpofu told NewZimbabwe.com on Friday that MDC Alliance must stay away from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Munhumutapa offices in Harare when they hold their march over electoral reforms next Tuesday.
Mpofu’s comments come after Tendai Biti told journalists during a press conference that MDC Alliance protesters will first gather at Africa Unity Square, before marching to ZEC offices where we will present a document and then proceed to Munhumutapa building. However Mpofu warned MDC Alliance that their march cannot be labelled as peaceful if they march to Munhumutapa building. Said Mpofu
We have clearly stated that we will not tolerate any undue behaviour from any quota while we prepare for the elections. How can a demonstration that is targeting the Head of State’s office be said to be peaceful? If it is true that they want to march to the president’s office, that cannot be viewed as peaceful and we appeal to them not to do that. It’s time for campaigns and they should actually do their organisation in a peaceful manner.
