The MDC salutes its members and civic groups for exercising calm in the face of extreme provocation by Zanu PF thugs who today violently disrupted the All Stakeholders Constitutional Conference in Harare.Zanu PF thugs hurled water bottles, chairs and furniture at MDC MPs, members and civic society activists who all maintained their composure despite the provocation. The thugs, led by Zanu PF MP and Politburo member Saviour Kasukuwere, threw water at the Speaker of Parliament, Hon Lovemore Moyo, who also maintained his cool.
The MDC salutes its members. We salute the civic groups who also maintained their dignity as Zanu PF MPs shouted obscenities. The MDC understands that the Constitutional Conference will proceed at 3pm today.
