In a statement, Secretary for Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Mr Nick Mangwana warned against demonstrations meant to topple President Mnangagwa.
Mangwana said Zimbabwe is a constitutional democracy. Said Mangwana:
Government takes note of media reports wherein some political entities made threats to overthrow the constitutionally-elected Government and subsequently install an unelected person as President of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a constitutional democracy with an elected leader, His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa, whose term of office runs until 2023…Government therefore places on record that any attempts to topple the Government and institute the long failed illegal regime change will be frowned upon.
Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga said the ZRP was ready to deal with demonstrations meant to topple Mnangagwa. Matanga also discouraged Zimbabweans from unlawful actions by sponsored outfits. Said Matanga:
We have heard about this information but ourselves as an organisation we are going to make sure that our officers are properly trained and equipped, to make sure they will be able to overcome the intended demonstrations being talked about. At the same time, I want to appeal to members of the public to make sure that they do not involve themselves in such demonstrations.
