Farai Dziva|Emmerson Mnangagwa has openly conceded he is finding it difficult to make a decision on the way forward as the lockdown ends on May 3.

Mnangagwa told members of the business community at State House on Wednesday saving people’s lives was a priority since the economy would be resuscitated at the appropriate time.

Cases of confirmed Coronavirus cases have risen to forty in Zimbabwe.

“I was thinking about what happens after this one (extended lockdown) ends.

I am still working on that, but the primary objective is to give priority to saving lives.
I have been studying events worldwide, how governments are reacting to this. Some border on the line of carelessness, some border on the line of over-cautiousness.

So, we must find a way where, in my view, we err on the side of caution rather than err on the side of recklessness,”said Mnangagwa.
