By A Correspondent- Mthwakazi Republic Party youth wing is planning to shut down the entire Bulawayo City and force the government to end its ban on kombies.

The disgruntled MRP youth league said they plan to hold the mass demonstrations on the 10th and the 11th of May.

In a statement, MRP said it was touched by the pain the people are made to endure daily because of Zupco’s incapacity to meet public transport demands.

“We urge Omalayitsha not to allow Zupco operating in South Africa if the government continues to ban them from operating.

“The people’s revolutionary party is, therefore, demanding that government immediately allow private commuters and Omalayitsha back on the road. An article in the government-controlled Sunday News of the 2 May 2021, announcing a ban on private commuters has left us with no option but to demonstrate our disapproval of the move,”said MRP.

“All progressive residents, Kombi owners and their employees, and other stakeholders are kindly called upon to ensure that the shutdown is a success,” the party said.

The government recently announced an indefinite ban on kombis and said directed the police to impound private cars seen carrying passengers.
