Zimbabwe’s ruling party has denied reports it intends to ban women and girls from wearing miniskirts and trousers in public places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zanu-PF national spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo in a statement<\/a> described such reports as fake news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Zanu-PF distances itself from circulating fake news saying the party is lobbying for the disbandment of miniskirts and trousers,” said the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The party accused an NGO allied to opposition party MDC for spreading the rumours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Moyo said Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle was fought by both men and women (through the Women’s League) and the party had made “significant strides” to advance women’s rights in a number of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
