Zimbabwean Police Warn Against Illegal Anti-Mnangagwa Protests

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has warned that illegal demonstrations or gatherings would face "the full wrath of the law". This follows war veteran and ex-Zanu PF committee member Blessed Geza's call for nationwide protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his allies, accusing them of corruption.

Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said nationwide security measures were in place to maintain peace and urged the public not to be misled by misinformation or social media threats. He urged the public to go about their daily activities without fear, adding that all essential services, including schools, businesses, public transport, and government offices, will continue to operate. 

President Emmerson Mnangagwa's administration has announced a $150 "Special Presidential Bonus" to ease growing frustration and curb anti-government protests.
