VERDICT: HOAX
The MDC Alliance has dismissed as fake, a poster doing the rounds on social media claiming that the opposition party would hold a rally on April 3, 2020 at the party`s headquarters in Harare in support of beleaguered party leader Nelson Chamisa.
“It is fake new, we have no plan to organize any demo at all,” said said the party spokesperson Daniel Molokele.
In addition, the Parliamentary Portfolio on Health and Child Care chairperson Dr Ruth Labode said the party was in support of the nationwide lockdown.
“As MDC we supported the lockdown, we do not have a different position,” said MP Labode.
In their Social Media ‘Twitter ‘page MDC posted urging people to stay at home and prevent the spread of Covid-19.
“As we enter Day 4 of #LockdownZim, we urge Zimbabweans to stay at home, wash your hands and practicing social distancing.
“All hands on deck to prevent the spread of #Covid-19. We must save lives and mitigate suffering.” read the Twitter message.
