ZANU PF hoodlums are set to break their own lockdown rules at Absolom Sikhosana burial set for National Heroes Acre by ferrying people to the shrine.

One William Chingwara, a family spokesperson for the deceased confirms on ZBC radio stations that no less than 3 buses each carrying 32 people are bound for the burial program in Harare.

Set to be added to the 32 times 3 buses mourners are government officials and security details who are going to flood the Heroes Acre shrine.

Clearly that is in contrary to the 50 maximum number of people that are allowed at a funeral if we go by the Mnangagwa proclaimed Covid19 regulations.

What is saddening is that all this comes on the heals of arrest by the police and the subsequent abduction and torture of our 3 MDC Alliance female youth leaders for what ZRP term breach of Covid19 regulations.

ZRP’s professionalism at Sikhosana’s funeral is once again put to test and as MDC Alliance Youth Assembly we implore the police to enforce the law with impartiality.

We demand fairness and equal enforcement of the law during this lockdown!
