Zim Now Writer

The Zimbabwe Republic Police yesterday stopped Harare mayor Jacob Mafume from commissioning Rufaro Stadium.

According to a tweet by ZRP, they were directed by Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, Tafadzwa Muguti to stop the event.

The event was initially set for Saturday before it was moved to Wednesday and then Thursday where it was cancelled on police orders.

Journalists and council officials were driven out if the stadium, which is still under renovations.

Mafume said all was on course for the opening of the stadium which he claimed is 95% complete but received orders from Mbare Police not to go ahead with the event.

On Wednesday, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga told a Zanu PF campaign rally that the government would renovate the stadium so that Dynamos can return and play its home games at the venue.
