President Emmerson Mnangagwa announcing lockdown reviews Zimbabweans generally believe that the country will regret President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s somewhat rushed opening up of the country from Covid-19 lockdown.
In a poll conducted on ZimEye.com on Friday, a slight majority of 40% of the respondents believed that Mnangagwa’s move was a bit rushed and we will regret it.
36% applauded Mnangagwa’s decision while 24% remained not sure of the consequences of the decision.
Zimbabwe is gradually returning to almost full economic activity with Mnangagwa announcing last week the reopening of the informal economy, where three quarters of the economically active population earn their living.
By last night, the number of confirmed Covid-19 positive cases had reached 384, with another 27 cases announced at the weekend all among returning residents and citizens in formal quarantine.
Below is the result of the poll.
