Zimbabwe police deploy in Gweru, MDC challenges protest ban eNCA

The MDC said it would challenge the ban in court on Tuesday. The party failed to overturn two previous bans on marches in Harare and Bulawayo.

In Gweru, a central city, police patrolled on foot and in lorries and also cordoned off a university, a local journalist told Reuters. "There is a determined effort by the regime to ensure that there is no more democratic space," MDC national spokesman Daniel Molokele said."They are also deploying a lot of military and police in the streets... It clearly shows that the new government is even worse than that of Robert Mugabe."

The demonstrations are viewed as a test of Mnangagwa's willingness to tolerate dissent in a country tainted by a long history of repression under his predecessor Mugabe.
