“We stand with our president who has been preaching peace since the beginning of the new dispensation. But we realise that they are characters who are bent on creating disharmony, chaos in our country, in the name of democracy or freedom.”

By Own Correspondent|ZANU PF Youth league’s 55 year old leader, Pupurai Togarepi has issued a stern warning to those planning to protest against government saying the party’s youth wing will not watch the country’s detractors create anarchy.

Togarepi said this in a televised interview with the state media.

He said:

“The youth league has noted with concern messages purportedly meant to advise or coerce people from going to work or engaging in violent demonstration coming from various organisations.

Listed under that message some have distanced themselves some have not. These are criminal people, who are trying to destabilise our country.

As ZANU PF youth league, we hereby tell them to desist from creating an environment of anarchy, violence, destruction of property, stopping people from doing what they wish to do freely in a free country.

“Errm, we would want to tell such kind of people that as zanu PF Youth League we will defend peace.

“We stand with our president who has been preaching peace since the beginning of the new dispensation. But we realise that they are characters who are bent on creating disharmony, chaos in our country, in the name of democracy or freedom.

“These people must be told and warned that the freedom to demonstrate is not an absolute right. If you want to demonstrate you should not then interfere or infringe on other people’s rights.”
