By Own Correspondent- Opposition MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has said Zimbabwe has effectively moved from a police, to a military State, where members of the army are now being used to maintain peace and order and the police have been reduced to spectators.

In an exclusive interview with a local publication on Friday, Chamisa said while a police State under President Robert Mugabe was bad enough; things had become worse because the military has taken over.

Said Chamisa:

“We have a problem; it’s bad enough to have a police State and when ED [President Emmerson Mnangagwa] came before elections after the November thing, he removed roadblocks, yet it was a decoy, he has even moved the country from a police State to a militarised State. We love our soldiers, we honour our soldiers; they are patriotic; but, honestly, why are politicians abusing our soldiers to draw them into issues that are not supposed to be theirs?-Newsday
