Million-man march useless, says War vets

The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) for long regarded as President Robert Mugabe's support pillar yesterday dismissed the planned million-man march, being organized by the Zanu-PF youth league, as insincere, ill-timed and an unwarranted abuse of scarce resources at a time the economy was teetering on the brink of collapse.

ZNLWVA spokesperson Douglas Mahiya accused the organizers of the march, slated for May 25, of failing to appreciate the real issues affecting the generality of Zimbabweans.

Zanu-PF insiders said the proposed march was a subtle campaign to derail Mnangagwa's ambitions.
