HUNDREDS of MDC-T youths in Harare yesterday defied heavy police presence in the city centre and held a peaceful demonstration, where they gave President Robert Mugabe an ultimatum to either leave office or kill them for demanding an end to Zanu-PF misrule.

Bring back Itai Dzamara now! read one of the screaming placards carried by the opposition youths, as they marched to Parliament, where they were addressed by their national youth leader, Happymore Chidziva.

“It’s either you kill us or you leave office,” Chidziva declared, in obvious reference to Mugabe’s failure to address the country’s worsening socio-economic crisis.

MDC-T Harare provincial youth secretary Denford Ngadziore said yesterday’s demonstration marked the beginning of a series of weekly protests lined up by the party to pressure the Zanu-PF government to implementing electoral and security sector reforms and take the country out of its economic crisis.

Last week, MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu announced that the party would roll out a number of demonstrations until its demands have been addressed. Source: newsday
