Harare-Many Zimbabweans have expressed mixed feelings over the proposed national anti-sanctions march set for Friday October 25.
Ordinary citizens expressed disgruntlement over the move to march saying it was a waste of time and resources.
“What sanctions do we have? The government has already imposed sanctions on us, let those on the list of sanctions march. We have suffered enough but they are not addressing major issues,” said Thembinkosi Karasa of Harare
Others were of the opinion that the money that they have sourced for the march should be diverted to drought hit areas.
“There is drought in some parts of the country, why not divert that money towards imports of food aid. This is absurd, the march is a waste of money and time. This is just a joke because the march is for those aligned to Zanu PF” said one Taurai Simango
Whilst others were condemning the protests, others said it was proper as it would send a clear message to those who imposed sanctions.
“For a start it is a noble idea as it will give those who imposed sanctions an insight of how we are feeling in these harsh economic times. Those who are against the march must only blame themselves for the current situation,” said Thomson Rukato from Mabvuku
Controversial Ntabazinduna traditional leader, Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni urged Zimbabweans to cease the opportunity and march against President Mnangagwa u
“Those who wish to join the sanctions march on October 25, go out, join the marches and call out loudly for Mnangagwa and his administration to resign because of their failed sanctions strategy,” said Chief Ndiweni
The march follows a declaration by Sadc Heads of State and Government at their Summit in Tanzania in August, that the whole region stands in solidarity with Zimbabwe in her fight against illegal sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union.
