Zimbabwe’s Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, Kazembe Kazembe, has issued a stern warning to citizens against participating in the planned protests on 31 March. The protests, called for by fugitive war veteran Blessed Geza, have been deemed “unlawful gatherings that interfere with public order” by Kazembe. He expressed concern over mobilization efforts through social media and press statements, dismissing them as “subversive and anti-development endeavours” that threaten the country’s peace and stability.

Kazembe assured citizens that security forces are prepared to deal with any disruptions, warning that law enforcement agencies would take decisive action against those planning to participate in the protests. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has deployed officers nationwide to ensure public safety and maintain order. Kazembe also reminded citizens of the legal implications of participating in unlawful protests, citing the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act and the Cyber Security and Data Protection Act.

Those who incite violence or spread inflammatory messages online will face prosecution, and those who intimidate or harass others into joining the protests will be punished. Kazembe urged citizens to report any individuals inciting violence to the police and to respect the law, focusing on contributing to the country’s economic development. The government’s message is clear: disruptions to public order will not be tolerated, and security forces are on high alert to enforce the law.
