In a massive climb down, police in Bulawayo have admitted that there is no terrorism fear in the country, a day after claiming so.
Police had banned People's Democratic Party (PDP) planned first anniversary celebrations on Sunday in the city.
They said according to their intelligence, the country was on terrorism alert.
According to reports, Chief Superintendent Mthokozisi Manzini Moyo wrote back to PDP saying "Please be advised that after putting some issues into perspective, my office has reconsidered the prohibition notice as regards your anniversary scheduled for September 11 at White City Stadium,"
"It is hereby rescinded. However, be advised that confining your celebrations to the venue will further reduce security risks and chances of infiltration, which might lead to public disorder incidents."
