The Government of Zimbabwe has stated that it is not planning to ban women and girls from wearing miniskirts and trousers in public areas.
Zanu-PF national spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo in a statement described such reports as fake news.
It followed reports that the party was planning to introduce legislation that would make it illegal for women aged 16 and above to wear trousers and miniskirts.
“Zanu-PF distances itself from circulating fake news saying the party is lobbying for the disbandment of miniskirts and trousers.”
“It is therefore ridiculous that a giant mass party formed and existing on the shoulders of an empowered Women’s League can be attributed such trivia on dressing,” it said.
The party accused an NGO allied to opposition party MDC for spreading the rumours.
