PDP had notified the police of its intention to hold a rally to mark its first anniversary, but the police said they could not allow it, as they were stretched in trying to prevent full-scale war and terror.

PDP's anniversary rally was scheduled for White City Stadium in Bulawayo on Sunday.

In the letter officer commanding Bulawayo West district police, Chief Superintendent Mthokozisi Manzini Moyo wrote,

Serious threats have been received from various pressure groups through social media inciting people to declare a full war in Zimbabwe starting on September 2, to destroy all police properties, to destroy all roadblocks with fire, to blow up all government vehicles and buildings, attack all members of the prison services and release all prisoners in jail, seize Zimbabwe Revenue Authority by force, shut down all major shops until government changes, prevent all airlines from landing and taking off, allow bus operators to operate at their risk and to blow up all Zupco buses and ambulances. We do not take these threats lightly and we have remained on high alert since September 1, a situation that has strained our resource utilisation.
