There were 35000 youths being trained by the army. 7000 were being trained in Byo. Brig @MinisterSBMoyo was commandeering 8112 youths. This is not allowed in either the constitution or the electoral act. But they do it. So how do you confront such people? –@mawarirej @HealZim pic.twitter.com/JUWA8w5Mo2
