ZIMBABWE People First (ZimPF) leader, Joice Mujuru will defy a ban on rallies and hold two in Matabeleland South this weekend.
Mujuru is headed to Ntabazinduna (Friday) and Gwanda on Saturday.
Police in Harare last week banned a joint political parties demonstration, organised under the banner of the National Electoral Reform Agenda (Nera), citing security concerns.
However, ZimPF's head of communications, Methuseli Moyo said Mujuru's rallies are on.
"We are hopeful our rallies will go ahead as planned, both in Gwanda and Ntabazinduna," he said.
"Preparations are at an advanced stage and we are expecting gold rallies.
"There is no terrorism at all. Zanu PF is terrified by rising tides of opposition forces and thinks that it is terrorism. It is competition. They better get used to it because it can only intensify. The bans are in bad faith and illegal. They must be reversed."
