Zanu-PF has lined up two crucial meetings this week where security and economic issues are expected to be top on the agenda. The Politburo meets tomorrow followed by the Central Committee on Friday, a report by State media indicates.
Although the government mouthpiece did not clarify what security issues will be discussed, it highly probable that the ant-Mugabe demonstrations which began three months ago will be the main agenda under security.
"We have the two important meetings, starting with the Politburo on Wednesday, and the Central Committee will meet on Friday," zanu-pf secretary for administration Ignatius Chombo is quoted saying.
Asked about the agenda, Chombo said: "These are our routine meetings and as usual, the agenda will be disclosed to members and the media will get feedback after the meetings."
In the wake of rising protests, police banned demonstrations in Harare for the next two weeks citing inadequacies in Section (26) of the Public Order and Security Act (Chapter 11:17) to prevent disorder being caused by such processions. The legality of the ban is being challenged by opposition parties and civil society in the High Court and the hearing is set for tomorrow (Wednesday).
