MINISTER of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Advocate Misheck Mugadza has assured the province that people are safe to go about their daily business today as adequate security measures have been put in place to ensure public safety in the face of planned protests by some Government critics.
Minister Mugadza said businesses and schools remain open as Government is committed to maintaining peace and order.
His assurance comes amid concerns about potential violence during the planned demonstrations, which aim to challenge the constitutionally-elected Government led by President Mnangagwa.
He made it clear that the authorities will not tolerate any violent acts and will take firm action to protect citizens and maintain stability.
“The people of Manicaland are assured that today March 31, 2025 is a normal day, with businesses and schools operating as usual. The people of Manicaland are urged to remain united, work together, and prioritise peace to drive development and progress.
“As President Mnangagwa leads the country, Manicaland remains a place for all citizens. Government has initiated several high-impact projects and programmes that are progressing well and nearing completion. These initiatives are expected to improve the lives of Manicaland residents, aligning with Vision 2030’s goal of becoming an upper-middle-income country.
“The security forces have been deployed to maintain peace and order, ensuring a secure environment for all citizens. We expect our citizens to go about their daily activities freely, without any fear or intimidation, and to carry on with their work and businesses as usual. The people of Manicaland can rest assured that their safety is a top priority, and they should not let the threat of demonstrations disrupt their daily lives as Government will work tirelessly to ensure that law and order prevail,” said Minister Mugadza.
