3/7 Given the essential nature of food markets, decentralised and monitored markets which allow informal traders to fend for their families while practicing social distancing and WHO hygiene protocols should be encouraged under the supervision of the assigned officials.
4/7 We thank the private sector chipping in to help.We salute the international community for supporting Zimbabwe.We continue to need more support.We see efforts by fellow citizens fundraising for this great cause.We thank you each one of you. Every dollar counts!
5/7This is an opportunity for Zimbabweans to UNITE & for all players to come together to provide localised solutions.Zimbabweans do not have to make the impossible choice of whether to stay indoors or feed their families.We must be good people.Good people do good things.
6/7 Businesses will also need strong stimulus packages to keep them viable and protect those they employ.Frontliners need Protective clothing.There are no winners in times of crisis,there are only men & women who stand firm and sacrifice to preserve the much desired future.
