Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has formally reacted to protests calling for his resignation.
Mail and Guardian reports that speaking at the 103rd ruling Zanu-PF party central committee meeting, Mugabe described the ongoing protests in the southern African country as a nuisance that would be dealt with harshly.
“The demonstrations that we have witnessed in the last few weeks were not by accident of history, but were purposefully choreographed and launched in the mistaken belief that the time was ripe for a popular uprising against government.
“Let the opposition parties know and all those angling for chaos, mayhem and violent demonstration be warned that our patience has run out. Government will take very strong measures against any political party, organisation or individual that perpetrates violent demonstration,” Mugabe was quoted saying.
