By Dorrothy Moyo| Controversial Minister Of Affairs And Culture, Obert Mpofu has threatened Mthwakazi activists with arrest.

The activists have been protesting for several days since the moment when they were blocked from conducting the Ndebele King crowning ceremony, a development that saw hundreds of thousands of people reacting against the Zimbabwean government.

Further to that, they have been accused of disrupting the national peace and reconciliation commission hearings

Minister Mpofu has since threatened to arrest the activists.

Mpofu told the state media the state will not tolerate any disruptions of its programmes. He said, “We want to caution them against disrupting Government programmes.

“All organisations, institutions and other groupings should desist from interfering with scheduled Government programmes and other programmes organised by other institutions as has been the case with the disruptions of NPRC hearings by some elements that are bent on destabilising Government.

“Government will no longer tolerate any disruptions and those who disrupt its programmes will be dealt with in terms of the laws of the country.”

“This comes following reports by members of the public who have raised concern that they have not been allowed to make their contributions on national programmes because of some people who have disrupted meetings.

“That will no longer be tolerated and the police are now going to arrest them.”
