ZANU PF youth league secretary Pupurai Togarepi condemned the MDC demonstration set to be held in Harare this Thursday. The MDC has since informed the police and has been given the green light to proceed with the march. The MDC are demonstrating over what they consider the worsenig economic situation. However, ZANU PF youths consider the march to be ‘frivolous’. They have vowed to defend ZANU PF party property in the event that it is attacked by the MDC. Togarepi said
We noted with concern that the opposition is planning what they call a peaceful march on November 29, 2018, in Harare.
The purpose of this so-called peaceful demonstration is to cause mayhem and despondency in our peaceful Zimbabwe as what happened on August 1, 2018. We don’t say people should not demonstrate, but not demonstrate without good reasons. The economic reasons are frivolous. After all, they invited sanctions to the country and always want to blackmail the country and deny it of investors.
In view of the impending demonstration by ‘thugs’ and ‘stupids’, we would like to encourage the general citizenry and the business community to safeguard their property against the merchants of violence who engineered the same on 1 August 2018. On its party, the league will safeguard the property against any harm. Any attempt to destroy property belonging to the party will not be taken lightly.
