ORGANISERS of the July 31 protests said nothing, including
plans to lock down Harare and Bulawayo and threats to unleash security
personnel will stop the "people's action".
Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume, who is behind
the organisation of the protests, told journalists yesterday that they will
stop at nothing in their plan to end corruption.
His calls came amid arrests and threats of a clampdown on
opposition activists who have endorsed the protests.
"Bad leaders need to take their feet off our neck, we
can't breathe. We demand all public leaders to immediately step down,"
Ngarivhume said, accusing corrupt leaders and looters of being behind
Zimbabwe's political and economic misery.
On plans by Mnangagwa to lock down Harare and Bulawayo
under the guise of the COVID-19 pandemic while shutting out the planned
protests, Ngarivhume said the plan will go ahead and strict adherence to
COVID-19 regulations, including social distancing and washing of hands, among
others.
He said stakeholders and organisations involved must remain
"autonomous" and mobilise without fear.

protests. Newsday
