Staff Reporter | MDC spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora has just issued a strong statement on ZimEye Live in response to the planned Zanu PF attack on party headquarters Harvest House, “If they attack Harvest House, we will attack Zanu PF headquarters.” He said the party is not cowed down and they are ready to defend themselves.
Militant unrestrained Zanu PF youths who have been given access to army weapons, say they are on their way to attack Morgan Tsvangirai’s offices at Harvest House, in what is feared could be a tragic repeat of the bombing of the Daily News printing press in 2001.
Highly placed sources in the violent Zanu PF Harare provincial leadership said this was meant to revenge last Friday’s demonstration against President Robert Mugabe which was staged by a coalition of opposition parties.
Some MDC-T youths at Harvest House on Sunday told ZimEye.com that they had received the message of the planned attack, threatening to fight back.”We’re reliably informed that ZANU PF youths want to attack our HQ harvest house today. As MDC T Harare youth assembly we are not going to fold our hands watching them, we are going fight and if Zanu PF do that it will be clear declaration of war. I want to inform the police that if they allow that to happen they will carry the blame because people might die,”he said.
