By Own Correspondent|Opposition MDC Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora has described as cowardly and unacceptable a decision by state security agents to bar MDC President Nelson Chamisa from entering the National Sports Stadium where he wanted to pay his last respect to national hero and icon Oliver Mtukudzi.

Chamisa was refused entry by state security agents who advised him not to enter the stadium using his car citing security concerns.

Said Mwonzora:

The decision by state agents to bar @nelsonchamisa from entering the National Sports Stadium is cowardly and totally unacceptable. Although Hon Zwizwai and myself tried to remonstrate with the government ministers present it was to no avail.
