ED rally ‘cancelled’ over poor turnout

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday reportedly cancelled a planned address to Zanu PF supporters who had come to cheer him on at the official opening of the US$7,4 million Madokero Mall in Harare due to poor turnout.

Sources said the planned rally was called off at the last minute due to a poor turnout despite spirited mobilisation efforts by senior officials led by Zanu PF Harare provincial chair, Godwills Masimirembwa.

Masimirembwa arrived at the venue early and could be heard ordering party and affiliate structures to bus supporters to the venue.
