Jane Mlambo| With the police banning the holding of public gatherings to contain the cholera outbreak that has claimed 21 lives and affected more than 2000 people, opposition MDC Alliance’s planned inauguration of its leader Nelson Chamisa will no longer be possible this week.

The event which attracted harsh criticism from Zanu PF with government threatening to deal with Chamisa, was slated for Gwanzura Stadium, which is a few kilometers away from Glen View where the first outbreak in Harare was reported.

The event which was likely to attract people from all over Harare and surrounding areas, was considered to be a health threat which could escalate the spread of the deadly disease.

ZimEye could not get in touch with the MDCAlliance Spokesperson, Jacob Mafume to confirm if they will continue with the planned event but a statement from the police has already warned against those who disregard the ban on public gatherings.
