Police in Bulawayo are actively seeking to question a group of youth mobilisers from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) based in the Lobengula suburb, who have been reportedly organizing illegal campaign meetings and conducting unsanctioned door-to-door campaigns for their leader, Nelson Chamisa.
The group, led by prominent mobiliser Sikhangezile Ncube, has faced increasing tension and clashes with Zanu-PF supporters in the city, raising concerns among law enforcement.
In a statement released to the media, the police confirmed their intention to interview Ncube and her group regarding their activities.
“We are eager to speak with Sikhangezile Ncube and her associates about the nature of their gatherings and campaign efforts, which have been reported as unauthorized,” the statement read.
The police emphasized the importance of adhering to legal protocols when organizing political activities, highlighting that unauthorized meetings can lead to disruptions and potential public safety concerns.
As tensions rise in the lead-up to upcoming elections, the police are focusing on maintaining order and ensuring that all political parties operate within the boundaries of the law.
The MDC youth mobilisers, however, continue to assert their right to campaign and express their political views, insisting that their activities are legitimate and aimed at engaging with the community.
