SEVERAL civil society groups in Harare have threatened to take to the streets today in protest against Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana's alleged blooper over the country's prescribed age of sexual consent.
This followed reports that Tomana was quoted as saying 12-year-olds could consent to sex.
Tomana has come under immense pressure as civic society and commentators have demanded his resignation or sacking while he has claimed that he was quoted out of context.
Children and women's rights pressure groups initially met on Friday before deciding to march to the Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs ministry today.
The demonstration is expected to start at Town House. The march will run under the theme The Call is for the President to Relieve Tomana of his Duties, as a Matter of Urgency!
