This was after Masarira issued the below public statement having reported Nelson Chamisa’s MP to the police. Below was the statement-
By Linda Masarira: These levels of intolerance are sickening. I would expect this kind of behavior from ZanuPF. Pulling down posters is a criminal offence. All candidates signed electoral code of conduct and when one wants to use vulnerable youthies to pull down posters and replace them with theirs I will deal with them legally.
On Thursday my posters were pulled down at Braeside Musika and some at Braeside shops and I engaged the current sitting MP Murisi Zwizwai after being informed that the removers of the posters were chanting that this is a Zwizwai area. I had a conversation with Hon. Murisi Zwizwai and he advised me to get all those pulling my posters down in his name. Ignorance is not an excuse in a court of law.
Tolerance of differing political opinions is key in our quest to have credible elections. I have reported the Montagu case to Harare Central Police Stations and investigations commence on Monday.
