Some opposition parties and civic society groups are condemning President Robert Mugabe for threatening to crush any future protests saying such utterances are a direct attack on the country’s constitution that Mr. Mugabe is supposed to be its custodian.
Speaking at a meeting he held with some war veterans and Zanu PF supporters at the ruling party’s headquarters in Harare on Wednesday, President Mugabe warned protesters that his government would crush any form of protests against the government.
Mr. Mugabe said demonstrators would rot in jail if they were caught by authorities in the streets.
Former Energy Minister Elton Mangoma, leader of the opposition Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe party, castigated Mr. Mugabe for making these remarks saying such utterances are an affront to Zimbabwe’s constitution.
Former Finance Minister and leader of the Mavambo Kusile Dawn party, Simba Makoni, added that President Mugabe’s remarks were an indication that his government applies the law selectively.
Promise Mkwananzi, spokesperson of Tajamuka-Sesijikile Campaign, a coalition of youths in political parties and civic organisations, said his organization was determined to mobilize Zimbabweans to stage protests against Mr. Mugabe’s government.
He said no amount of threats would deter them from engaging in peaceful demonstrations against the deteriorating social and economic situation in the country.
Meanwhile, Kurauone Chihwayi, spokesperson of the MDC formation led by former Industry Minister Welshman Ncube, has urged the Southern African Development Community and the African Union to intervene in Zimbabwe, saying the security of the country’s citizens was now at risk.
Chihwayi’s sentiments were echoed by Movement For Democratic Change and Zunde political party leader, Gilbert Dzikiti, who said it was worrying that SADC and AU leaders are not engaging President Mugabe on human rights violations in his country.
Hundreds of demonstrators were arrested in recent weeks after staging anti-government protests in some parts of the country. MDC-T youths insist that they are going ahead with their plan to engage in sustained nationwide protests in August to press Mr. Mugabe to leave office for allegedly failing to run Zimbabwe. VOA

I agree. Smith was not Shona.

whites were better than Mugabe ….. I mean Ian Douglas smith
I read all these posts and realize that once again the president has managed to turn Zimbabweans against each other. To defeat the enemy we need to stand together and not resort to petty racism.
My fellow country men I kindly advise you to never respond to any of Shona Hater’s postings. He is a Boder Gezi dropout and as such he suffers from trauma given their barbaric curriculum. By responding to him we will be simply giving credence to his dumbness. Remember tribalism and dumbness are inseparable, just check Mugabe from the liberation era to date if you do not believe assertion.
Yaaaaaaah neh? Shonas a really suffering guys – eish!!!
Not suprising that even in your own family u hate everyone -and i guese nobody wants to be close to you bcz you are bad breath
Deep down i think you hate yourself – it begins from inside and spreads outside. So the only solution is for you to love or appreciate oneself before you can be able to appreciate others. Your language shows deep anger for oneself
He is a Shona. What do you expect?

Why are these Shona Gukurahundists protesting against the very thing they ALL voted for?.
We refuse to participate with or be led by a savage, backward people who kill and rape innocent people.

Do you think this thug has any idea that there is a constitution? We allowed him to abuse us with impunity. The only language he can understand is to take the fight to him, short of that, the endgame will take a little longer. He has a baboon mentality, that he finds pleasure in seeing others dying and fighting for his misrule. You can see that now he can only be supported by people who have smoked mbanje or drugs. No sane person can stand up for this baboon and no wonder why his supporters are insane and notorious thieves. You recall the late Simon Muzenda saying that even if we put a baboon you will vote for it, the baboon he was referring to was Robert Gabriel Mugabe. In fact Simon Muzenda was baffled why Zimbabwean people continue to vote for this baboon, until he came out and said that even if we put a baboon, you will vote for it.

in that case be careful that your hate doesn’t engulf you and you do or say something you regret in future…
but we would really love it if you could resolve your differences with the shona people after all.. in this new world order the barrier of race and tribe should not exist

Shonas are Zezurus – Mugabe’s children as far as Im concerned. I hate them!
please dont put all us shonas under one blanket…after all you may be a shona hater but unlike you many of us do love all the tribes of this nation and we dislike tribalism…i’ve lived in so many provinces among many different tribes but i grew to accept them for their strenghts and weaknesses…think on it brother if there is at least one shona who is telling you now that he accepts you for what you are, do you still hold such a discriminant hate towards him just because he is shona?
