Jane Mlambo| Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) has called on workers to resist the ‘barbaric actions of the state’ of chasing vendors from Harare CBD saying government does not understand the difficulties citizens are through.

Posting on Twitter today, ZCTU questioned the logic behind government’s decision to chase vendors from the streets considering that they will be fending for their families.

A Government that does not understand the difficulties citizens are going through, will not develop the country. If vendors are chased away from their sources of livelihood, how will all the affected families survive? All workers must resist this barbaric actions of the state.
