This office acknowledges receipt of your notice on the above subject.<\/p>\n<p>2. Your convening notice is not compliant with the law.<\/p>\n<p>3. The intended venue is also lined up with sporting activities by local football clubs who usually use the same luckily.<\/p>\n<p>4, some property owners are against the holding of the rally at their doorsteps.<\/p>\n<p>5. This office perceives the situation on the ground to be unfavourable for the holding of the rally and therefore it cannot proceed.<\/p>\n<p>6. Be guided accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>ZRP has over the years been accused of being influenced by the ruling ZANU PF to block opposition rallies.<\/p>\n<p>In the run-up to the 26 March 2022 by-elections, ZRP blocked a number of CCC rallies citing various reasons including the unavailability of the venues the party would have indicated.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition party says it is a strategy by the ruling party to stop the former from campaigning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
