MDC youths threaten to hit back

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change youth leader Thamsanqa Mahlangu today said party youths cannot continue to stand idle while their supporters are harassed by ZANU-PF youths and militias.  “As the MDC youth assembly, we are more than prepared to defend the defenceless electorate if the police continue to stand aloof and be indifferent to ZANU PF violence. We shall protect our parents, brothers and sisters wherever and under whatever circumstances. ZANU PF …. must be prepared to receive as much as they dish out if this lawlessness continues,” he said.
