By A Correspondent- Opposition MDC has said that national demonstrations against the deteriorating state of affairs are coming very soon.

Party Secretary-General, Chalton Hwende told a local publication that the national standing committee had given a go-ahead on demonstrations after reading the mood of the masses.

Hwende said:

“The banned protests showed us that people are ready for action, and as such, we will be rolling out more protests throughout the country, including at growth points … and those are coming very soon.”

The publication further reports that party insiders revealed that protests should be expected as early as next week.

These remarks come when the country has blocked all demonstrations which the MDC had scheduled to start on the 16th of August in Harare.

The State argued that it had gathered concrete evidence that suggested that the protests were going to be violent.
