President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday urged Zimbabweans to register as voters to ensure that they vote in general elections slated for later this year.
Addressing ZANU PF supporters at the National Heroes Acre during the burial of the late national hero Retired Brigadier-General Walter Kanhanga, Mnangagwa said:
As the 2023 harmonised general elections draw closer, I call upon all our citizens to register to defend, consolidate and advance the gains of our independence.
Let us continue to say no to violence while remaining vigilant against the machinations of our detractors.
As people, we must be allowed to exercise our democratic rights without external interference. As the ZANU PF government, we will continue to guarantee the right of all types of malcontents.
Kanhanga died last week on Thursday at his rural Guruve home in Mashonaland Central Province.
