War veterans have recommended the Government to pronounce the anti-sanctions day slated for October 25 a public holiday after Sadc countries declared the day a solidarity day against illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe adding that modalities for the anti-sanctions day will be discussed at the Former Liberation Movements’ summit to be held in Victoria Falls next month.

Zanu-PF’s secretary for Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators, Ex-political prisoners, Detainees and Restrictees, Douglas Mahiya commended Sadc resolution and said this is an important day for the country.

“It would be very good for day to be declared a holiday. If the President says that day is a holiday it means that industry, farmers, doctors and everyone must be supportive of that day.

“The day is very important, this is a day Zimbabweans should demonstrate how progressive they are because here is a whole region supporting Zimbabwe,” said Mahiya.

He described opposition MDC Alliance and its leaders as misguided elements who are bent on causing disharmony in a peaceful country.

“They are a clique of misdirected, politically immature people who still give the white man support to suppress the black Zimbabweans,” said Mahiya.

He also added that sanctions are not only a threat to Zimbabwe but the region at large.State media
