"There Will Be No Sacred Cows": Zanu-PF Warns Members Against Violence

Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial chairman Ezra Chadzamira has warned party members against engaging in political violence, saying those caught on the wrong side of the law will be arrested irrespective of their position in the party. Chadzamira said the Zimbabwe Republic Police will not hesitate to arrest anyone regardless of their party affiliation.

Said Chadzamira:

Our leader President Mnangagwa has been making clarion calls for peaceful elections. The President has strongly stated that there is no room for political violence here in Zimbabwe and has even highlighted that message at various international fora that the new Government condemns all forms of violence as the nation braces for elections. I am happy that President Mnangagwa’s message has been loud and clear that perpetrators of political violence will be dealt with without fear or favour, there will be no sacred cows. The police have already been given a task to decisively deal with political violence, we condemn political violence from whatever source and the message of non-violence does not apply to zanu-pf members alone, but also to members of the opposition, the law will be applied fairly.
