MDC Will Hold Anniversary Celebration This Weekend Regardless Of Police Approval - Chamisa

Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has said that the MDC will hold its 19th-anniversary celebrations this coming weekend whether the police grants the MDC permission or not. Chamisa said that the police has been hiding behind the Cholera outbreak to stop the opposition from holding events citing a ban on public gatherings while at the same allowing football matches and university graduation ceremonies to take place. He went on to say that the opposition cannot keep postponing its ceremony and is going to hold its anniversary celebrations this coming weekend. Addressing the media at Morgan Tsvangirai House/Harvest House on Tuesday, Chamsia said,

Cholera has helped Zanu PF to ban our activities. This weekend we have said if police indicate they are not willing to let us proceed, we will use all peaceful mechanisms to ensure our anniversary celebration goes on on October 27. We call on all our supporters to attend…To all the workers, to all Zimbabweans, the time has come. The time has come for us to reflect on our circumstances and find common solutions to our common problems.
