By A Correspondent- President Emmerson Mnangagwa has revealed that government is committed to protecting all vulnerable Zimbabweans through social safety nets that will leave no one behind.

The state media reported that speaking in Bulawayo on Friday where he commissioned 76 new buses, under the Zupco franchise, Mnangagwa vowed to ensure that the public transport company’s bus fares would remain subsidised in order to cater for the poor.

“This programme attests to my Government’s commitment and determination to improve the quality of life of the ordinary people in line with our vision to become a middle-income society by 2030.

In this regard, we are determined to ensure that our developmental programmes leave no one behind.

In line with my Government’s commitment to provide social safety nets for vulnerable groups and after the realisation that our commuting public has often fallen victim to unscrupulous operators who are charging exorbitant bus fares, we resolved to recapitalise Zupco.”
