President Emmerson Mnangagwa castigated the wanton violence that took place in Haare South were ‘hooligans’ wearing ZANU PF regalia went about beating up people and destroying property.
He was addressing mourners who had gathered for the burial of the late national hero Callistus Ndlovu at the National Shrine on Saturday. Said Mnangagwa:
Let us desist from engaging in divisive politics that work against the national interest and worsen the plight of our people.
Politics that engender violence have no place in the new Zimbabwe.
We condemn in strongest terms the actions by some hooligans with a wicked agenda, who went about attacking people in Harare South wearing Zanu-PF regalia and destroying their trading stalls and merchandise.
The destabilisation of the country through such political hooliganism is criminal, evil and barbaric.
