Shadreck Gurenje The Revolutionary Party has reiterated that it will remain on high alert against malcontents, hired hooligans and hoodlums who rejoice at burning properties and looting of innocent citizens come July 31. Giving a press statement this afternoon ZANU PF Acting Secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Patrick Chinamasa has said as the ruling Party they appeal to people to desist from following the path of subversive machinations aimed at destabilising our beautiful and peaceful country. “The MDC is seeking to win and gain through violence what they failed to win through elections. They hope that the fake news which they are spewing out on social media will sway the population in the direction of destruction of their own country. Never and never again!! “ZANU PF appeal to our people to desist from following the path of subversive machinations aimed at destabilising our beautiful and peaceful country. “We encourage our people to continue to observe the lockdown measures as announced Cde Chinamasa also calls upon Party structures to remain alert and ready to defend themselves and the nation from rogue elements who rejoice at burning properties and looting. “ZANU PF calls upon our structures to remain alert and ready to defend themselves, defend our people, their property and most importantly, defend peace in their communities against these malcontents, hired hooligans and hoodlums who rejoice at burning properties and looting. “Indeed, ZANU PF unambiguously reminds our people that self-defence is a right especially when your security is under threat from these violent so called protesters. As long as ZANU PF is the ruling party, I reiterate that violence will never be permitted to revisit our societies the manner it turned out on 1 august and 14 to 16 January 2019,”said Cde Chinamasa. ZANU PF leadership further calls upon Zimbabweans to reject imposters like the MDC Alliance, a political party which has since its formation thrown the interests of the country and the people to the dustbin in favour of neo-colonial interests which our people and the Party fought to defeat.
