Police in Zimbabwe have prohibited street demonstrations planned by the country's main opposition.

They say anyone taking part in any kind of protests would be arrested.

It comes as political tension escalate in the African country.

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) disputes Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidential election win last year.

They now want people to take to the street to demonstrate against the government’s handling of the economy.
