The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has alleged that the country is on the brink of a civil war being plotted by social media activists.
The claim emerged in a statement used to ban an application by the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to hold its anniversary in Bulawayo on 11 September.
Bulawayo police threw out the application, insisting there was a serious threat to national security and thus police could not entertain political gatherings.
