By Own Correspondent| Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Dr Sibusiso Moyo has said government regrets the August 1 2018 events that led to the unnecessary loss of 6 lives in Harare following the shooting of unarmed citizens by soldiers.

In an interview on the sidelines of the 38th SADC Summit in Windhoek, Dr Moyo said the August 1 incident is not reflective of the true Zimbabwean character.

“Let me assure you that the President and his Cabinet including the entire new dispensation actually regrets the incident of the 1st of August because that is not characteristic of Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe we want is the Zimbabwe that demonstrated itself on the 30th of July. What came out on the 1st of August is not the Zimbabwe we want and has never been part of our embedded values.”-statemedia
