The War Veterans chairperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has announced saying the 31 July demo will not happen.

Mutsvangwa spoke as he outlined decisions adopted by his organisation’s national executive committee.

“The trinity that is the people, the war veterans stand in support of President Mnangagwa. We hold elections after every five years and those who think they can rule this country should wait for the next election, we will not tolerate those who are planning to remove the government unconstitutionally. Chamisa you lost the election, Bide your time any other recourse to try and remove the government by force will be met with total resistance,” said Mutsvangwa.

War veterans secretary-general, Victor Matemadanda and Bulawayo province representative, Japhet Pfuti added their voices saying they will rally behind their leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa.

“Anyone who wishes to have a dialogue with the president must join POLAD, that is the platform that was established to enable leaders of all parties to deliberate on any issue that concerns the country, anything outside POLAD will not be entertained,” they said.
