ZimFirst Leader Maxwell Shumba has urged members of his party not to join the MDC-T march today describing it as reckless.
Shumba said he had been asked by a Zimbabwean journalist if his members would join the protest march being conducted by his former party MDC-T today and he said no.
"We do not engage in reckless politics of vanity. ZimFirsters are staying home because going to the demo is like trying to bring down a stonewall by banging one's heard against it," he said. "You only get hurt. (President Robert) Mugabe is a stonewall and no amount of banging our heads against the wall will move it. Wherever he is, the old bloke is not going to lose sleep because a few hundreds are out in the street demanding billions of which he sorbet have or millions of jobs which are not there."
Shumba said Mugabe's police will take care of everything if the demo gets rowdy enough to threaten his peace.
"Therefore, rightfully ZimFirsters are asked to stay at home. We need all of them to be safe, sound, healthy and ready to do real battle using there brains when the time comes" he said.
"As a matter of fact if we were to hold a demo against Mugabe we would:
NOT Seek permission from the same Mugabe (via his police) to hold the demo and it would not be in-one city-a-few-hours-event making unrealistic demands. How is success measured for such a demo? If Mugabe as expected ignores the demands the what's next? "
He said Zimfirsters will stay home during the hours of the demo not because they are happy with Mugabe rule or are cowards but it because they fully understand that it's an except use in futility.
"They know that the struggle of now needs brains and not brawn," he said.
