ZAPU leader, Dumiso Dabengwa and MDC president, Welshman Ncube yesterday said they will be leading today's protest march in Bulawayo, as part of efforts by opposition parties to pressure the Zanu PF regime to implement electoral reforms.

Other opposition leaders are expected to lead similar demonstrations in Harare and other cities.
The Bulawayo demonstrations are set to start at 10am at the Lunar Park grounds along Masotsha Ndlovu Avenue, with all opposition parties in the region expected to take to the streets.

The protests are running under the theme Together We Can.

Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) Bulawayo provincial chairperson, Esnath Bulayana, told journalists that the parties have agreed on a raft of demands, among them the unconditional release of all activists arrested in the last demonstrations.

MDC-T Bulawayo provincial chairperson, Gift Banda said they expected government to respond in a positive manner.

Zapu regional co-ordinator, Mark Mbaiwa said they had sought police clearance and were hopeful to get the greenlight to demonstrate.
