President Emmerson Mnangagwa has spoken strongly against the culture of holding demonstrations as they create disharmony among citizens.<\/p>\n
He added that the culture of violence is retrogressive and will only serve to worsen the socio-economic challenges facing the country.<\/p>\n
Mnangagwa said this during the launch of Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF) at the Rainbow Towers in Harare on Tuesday. He said:<\/p>\n
In the Second Republic, let us shun the culture of militancy, disharmony and demonstrations. We must develop a greater understanding of each other\u2019s perspectives.<\/p>\n
Like one writer says, \u2018Most problems would disappear if people talk to each other more, instead of talking about each other.<\/p>\n
Differing positions must be permissible within our country, however, these must never divide us or result in conflict.<\/p>\n
Violence must never be used as a tool to gain a temporary advantage, at the expense of the people we must serve and protect.<\/p>\n
The old, retrogressive culture will only serve to widen our fissures and exacerbate our socio-economic challenges, and further delay the prosperity that our country so much needs and our people deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
