The government is on record saying its better to be poor and be alive. This comes at the back of several stern warnings that have been issued by
- Hon Matemadanda- We will release soldiers who are trained to kill if the protests are hard to squash
- Hon Mathema – We are on high alert to crush any violent protests
- The President – We will deal with those who want violence
The minister did not name any specific SADC leaders who showed concern about the planned DEMO.
