Tinoonga Mawere|Harare Zimbabwe-A government spokesperson has denied MDC A leader, Nelson Chamisa was barred from entering the National Sports Stadium during the Tuku Memorial Concert on Saturday.
However according to media reports on Saturday, Chamisa was denied entry into the National Sports
Stadium by state security agents.
Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Nick Mangwana claimed Chamisa was not barred from entering the stadium.
“Chamisa was not barred. All other dignitaries including ministers were parking their cars outside and walking in. But Chamisa refused and wanted to drive in. Security protocol did not allow this and he walked away. He was not denied entry.
Chamisa is becoming a drama king. A prima donna out to attract attention for the sake of it.Government has no business in barring people from funerals or any functions, but protocol has to be followed.We are
not a chaotic Government,” Mangwana said.
However sources close to the MDC A leader castigated what they described as unwarranted and reckless conduct of security agents.
