SADC equipping MDC-T youths with counterfeit police uniforms

The Zimbabwe Republic Police has claimed that some Southern African countries are sewing  both police and military uniforms and handing them to MDC-T members to pose as security officers but later on cause chaos in the country.

Recently, Home Affairs minister Ignatious Chombo claimed that the MDC-T  sent members of its youth wing to some African countries for paramilitary training and urban violence.

Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi, in a statement  said "Let me, however, highlight that according to security intelligence, MDC-T and their surrogate political parties have engaged their donors in neighbouring countries who have been contracted to sew both police and military uniforms.

"The security institutions are seized with investigations of this matter and are on high alert.

"There is a possibility that these uniforms will be clandestinely used to destabilise the country. Anyone found responsible will face the full wrath of the law."

MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu, denied his party was ordering the uniforms.

"There is absolutely nothing like that. The MDC is a civilian, lawful and peace-loving social democratic political party. We have no business acquiring army uniforms."
