PRESIDENT-elect Emmerson Mnangagwa has issued a veiled threat against MDC Alliance for allegedly abusing the democratic space he claims to have created since he took over power November last year, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
"We continue to call for restraint, peace and more peace throughout the country. The new dispensation has opened the country's democratic and economic space and demonstrated that Zimbabwe's democracy has matured. This, however, should never be abused," he said.
Since his dramatic ushering in on the back of a popular military coup that ousted his long serving predecessor Robert Mugabe in November, Zimbabweans have, admittedly, enjoyed relative freedoms although the opposition maintains the situation remains tense under a military backed Zanu-PF regime.
The president-elect, Monday, urged allies and foes to start thinking beyond the just ended elections.
"Let us bury our political differences and focus on rebuilding a prosperous Zimbabwe as one family," he said in his Heroes Day commemoration address.
Following his disputed poll defeat to Mnangagwa in the presidential race, Chamisa has vowed he will not sit idle as the Zanu-PF leader escaped with stolen victory.
