Journalists and council officials were driven out if the stadium, which is still under renovations.
Mafume said all was on course for the opening of the stadium which he claimed is 95% complete but received orders from the Mbare Police not to go ahead with the event.
On Wednesday President Emerson Mnangagwa told a Zanu-PF campaign rally that the government would renovate the stadium so that Dynamos can return and play its home games there.
