By Farai D Hove| In a rare development, the first of it’s kind, the Zimbabwe Republic police has blocked supporters of President Emmerson Mnangagwa from their protest solidarity action scheduled for today.

The zanu PF supporters were planning to march in Harare at the same time that supporters of the MDC Alliance are holding their protest for electoral reforms in the capital city.

For years, the ruling party supporters have received favourable treatment by the police. But in what appeared like a sweet suckly turn Of events, the police yesterday declared that they will block zanu PF supporters the whole day. They were ordered to instead hold their own protest the following day, Wednesday.

Youth leader Godwin Gomwe said, “I am communicating with you all with regards to the solidarity march for peace that we had scheduled for tomorrow the 5th of June 2018.

“As a peaceful and law abiding Youth League we had taken precaution and sought police clearance for our solidarity march. However, the Zimbabwe Republic Police has turned down our request for a police clearance citing that a certain political party had been granted permission prior to our application. As a leadership we automatically accepted and embraced this decision by the police.”
