Information Deputy Minister, Energy Mutodi says the
government has authorised the shoot to kill policy against protesters.
He told the Daily News :”They (the opposition) are
desperate to maintain political relevance among their supporters, having lied
to them that they would overthrow the government before the end of last year.
We will not tolerate anarchy and as such the shoot-to-kill
policy that we have authorised against rogue machete-wielding miners will apply
to those who will participate in violent and unlawful demonstrations.
Police will use maximum force in dealing with whoever
intends to cause disorder and disturb the peaceful environment that we created
for the good of our country.
The law stipulates that police must be informed of any
intention to hold a demonstration. The government is fully aware that the MDC
wants to see chaos prevailing in the country so that it becomes ungovernable.”
