Own Correspondent|Social media is this morning abuzz with a message doing rounds calling on the citizens to engage on a National Shut Down this Thursday.
The message whose origin is not yet known is attracting massive attention from social media users who appear to be taking serious hid to the call.
Prices of most commodities including petrol nearly doubled on Wednesday prompting a massive out cry from the citizens.
Bread shot up from a average of $3.20 to a whopping $6.00 in some shops according to ZimEye.com readers. Fuel is selling for as high as $7.69 for petrol and $7.30 diesel at some filling stations where it is available.
In the black market where it is flooded, petrol is selling for up to $100 for five litres.
Below is the social media message that is getting a lot of attention from citizens:
NATIONAL. SHUTDOWN.
Thursday 30 May 2019
Fellow Zimbabweans and comrades, it is evident that our nation is in a sorry state and ED and his government are feasting on our misery.
Prices for basic commodities have sky rocketed beyond the reach of many of us.
Its so sad seeing fathers and mothers queing for Zupco for hours hoping it will arrive.
Its so sad our parents took care of us but now even though we want to we cant return the favour.
Fuel $8 per litre
With this pace do you think you are going to live any inheritance for your children.
We have tried the patience route it has not worked.
The peace route will never work
Now we are a laughing stock as Zimbabweans are being labelled educated fools, people that cant stand for themselves, men that are afraid to fight for the future of their children.
We are saying enough is enough. On Thursday 30 May 2019, We are shutting down this nation.
