Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
President Emmerson Mnangagwa says his government will deregister civil society organisations which stray from their mandates to dabble in national politics.<\/p>\n
He was addressing a Zanu PF politburo meeting at the party headquarters in Harare on Friday.<\/p>\n
Mnangagwa also told western embassies accredited to the country to stop meddling in his country’s internal affairs.<\/p>\n
The Zanu PF led government has not had the best of relations with both civil society and western embassies which have maintained close scrutiny on the excesses of the under-fire administration.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa has confirmed his government was considering a review of the country’s lockdown measures in light of the recent spike in confirmed Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n
“The recent rapid spike of infections requires that we make another review of the Covid-19 lockdown measures,” he said.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe’s cases rose to 926 with 12 related deaths as of Thursday night.<\/p>\n
About two-thirds of the cases are imported.<\/p>\n
Mnangagwa called on his Zanu PF party to continue raising awareness within communities in order to help curb the spread of the global pandemic.<\/p>\n
“I urge the party to continue to be in the fore front of raising awareness levels in our communities of the dangers of this pandemic,” he said.<\/p>\n
“On the health side, the strategies we adopted to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic have to date yielded positive results.<\/p>\n
“Although there is a visible spike in the number of positive cases, largely due to returnees, we shall continue to strengthen our preventive measures as well as our testing, and contact tracing capacity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
