Acting MDC president Nelson Chamisa will tomorrow address a news conference at the party head office in the capital Harare.

Chamisa has strongly warned unruly party supporters to desist from acts of violence and tomorrow he is expected to emphasise the message of peace and unity in the party.

Below is a statement from Luke Tamborinyoka, the MDC Presidential Spokesperson Director of Communications:

Acting President Hon. Advocate Nelson Chamisa will
convene a presser tomorrow, Friday 23 February
2018, on the violence reportedly perpetrated
against party leaders in Buhera on Tuesday.

The acting President has already instructed the
party’s security and intelligence unit to compile a
comprehensive report on the alleged violence
against Vice President Hon. Dr. Thokozani Khupe,
Secretary-general Mr. Douglas Mwonzora and
organizing secretary Hon. Abednigo Bhebhe.

Acting President Chamisa has already given the
security and intelligence unit 24 hours to get to the
bottom of the security infringements in Buhera that
caused the violence and harassment of the party
leaders. He has already said violence is against the
character of the MDC and stern action must be
taken against the perpetrators if they are members
of the party, adding that the police must arrest the
culprits.

Accompanying the acting President at tomorrow’s
press conference at 1000hrs at the party
headquarters( Harvest House) will be other senior
leaders of the party.

The MDC is a party of excellence that does not
brook any violence within its ranks and will leave no
stone unturned in dealing with the culprits.
