Charamba ‘warns’ CCC against demonstrations

By Staff Writer
DEPUTY Chief Secretary and presidential spokesperson, George Charamba has warned the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) against convening any uprising saying any such actions will be dealt with aggressively.
The stern warning comes against a background where the CCC opposition party has signaled that it will soon adopt a political route to resolve the country’s problems without clarifying the exact roadmap on the exact course of action to be taken.
Frustrated by the biases and rising degree of intolerance, CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi warned that violent protests could be the only way out going into the near future.
“We have done everything possible to comply with the law in terms of the formation and design of our party, there is no single illegality in our processes,” said Mkhwananzi.
“We have continued to give the courts an opportunity to demonstrate their impartiality and professionalism, and this is such an opportunity.
“There are many other options that are available to us which we have just parked because we are following certain processes and strategies that I am not at liberty to disclose at this point.
“Should such a time come our Citizens National Assembly will take a resolution and announce it to the nation as to the course of action that we will be taking thereafter,” he said recently.
But in an update this week, Charamba issued a chilling warning against any such impending plans.
“Clearly, this premeditated violence by CCC, hoping to boost their leader’s so called foreign mission to subvert Zimbabwe. Let him be rest assured that it will abort,” he said.
