Jane Mlambo| Deputy Information minister Energy Mutodi has threatened the opposition MDC over remarks by Zengeza West legislator Job Sikhala who said his party will overthrow the government before 2023.

Mutodi said such remarks will not be taken lightly threatening that the MDC leadership will face serious consequences.

“The terrorist utterances by Job Sikhala betraying his party’s plans to “overthrow” the government through demonstrations will not be taken lightly. The MDC dissident leadership will face serious consequences,” said Mutodi.

Addressing Bikita villagers over the weekend, Sikhala said;

“We are a committed leadership that will give Zanu PF headaches and [Amos] Chibaya was not lying or joking about the war and fight we are going to take to the doorsteps of Emmerson Mnangagwa. We are going to overthrow him before 2023 that is not a joke,” Sikhala said.
