THE Zimbabwe African People's Union (Zapu) has warned reckless First Lady Grace Mugabe for claiming that Mashonaland Central "is a no-go area for the opposition" parties.
Grace recently told party supporters at a rally that Mashonaland Central should be a no-go area for the opposition.
That irked Zapu which issued a state statement condemning Grace.
"To be frank, she should apologise and withdraw the statement forthwith and in future, she should desist from such inflammatory statements" said Zapu secretary for information, publicity and marketing, Mjobisa Noko.
"That Zimbabweans have suffered for long and unnecessarily under an autocratic rule that has robbed the masses of the fruits of independence, needs no further mention.
"And amidst this perennial poverty spread across our once beloved nation - Zimbabwe - violence surely has no place in solving the great questions of the day.
"Perhaps what is more disturbing is those in the top echelons of power seem to be abusing their influence by reckless statements that seem to steer violence.
"Our passionate call to every Zimbabwean, especially political players, is that Zimbabwe today is unfortunately a polarised country.
