Day 1 Vendors

Today is the first day of #21daysofactivism which is going to run from 1 February 2017 to 21 February 2017, the day when President Mugabe is going to have his $2 Million 93rd birthday bash.

As we commence our 21 Days of activism  with focus on vendors, we call upon the government of Zimbabwe to seriously consider the widespread plight of millions of unemployed people who have found the informal sector to be their only source of livelihood.

We call upon the government to look at the following issues:

*Provision of alternative source of income than to chase vendors out of the streets, where are the 2 million jobs promised?

*Give vendors land, they also deserve farming land, we say no to monopolization of land to only ZANU PF supporters. ZANU PF is not Zimbabwe.

*Provide vendors with malls with adequate ablution facilities and located at convinient locations.

*Empower vendors as pledged under ZimAsset

*Stop confiscating vendors wares.

*Government must consider the plight of women who have been widowed,  those with husbands who are unemployed and their only source of living is vending.

*Formulation of policies that protect the informal sector/economy.

We collectively say no to a $2million birthday bash for only one individual at the expense of suffering Zimbabwean masses‼
