Zimbabwe Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe told everyone not to join protests on March 31. He called these gatherings unlawful and said they hurt public order. The government stands against these demonstrations planned by Blessed Geza, a war veteran who ran away from authorities. Kazembe feels worried about people using social media to gather crowds for these events.
The minister labeled these efforts as harmful activities that could wreck peace across the country. He stated the government noticed certain individuals trying to convince peaceful citizens to join illegal gatherings through online posts and fake announcements. Kazembe emphasized that protecting national security remains their duty under the constitution, making no apologies for doing this job.
Security teams stay ready for any trouble during this time. Kazembe promised that police officers would take strong action against anyone causing problems. He mentioned that safety forces remain alert nationwide to keep people secure as they go about their daily business. The Zimbabwe Republic Police have already sent officers throughout the country to maintain calm streets and let people move freely everywhere.
The minister reminded citizens about the laws they must follow regarding protests. He pointed to specific sections of criminal laws and cyber security rules that forbid messages encouraging violence. Anyone threatening others to join these protests will face serious punishment. Kazembe asked people to report suspicious behavior to police stations and provided emergency phone numbers for both Harare and Bulawayo.
Kazembe finished by asking all Zimbabweans to respect laws and help build the economy toward middle-income status by 2030. His overall message made clear that authorities would stop any disruption to public order. Law enforcement agencies continue watching closely, prepared to act against those who break the rules or take part in banned gatherings across Zimbabwe.
