    Nothing to expect from alshabab gvt. 90% of Zim people are informal traders, zvanzi ifayi nenzara.They are talking of 10 people dying per day as the reason 😂in South Africa over 400 people are dying per day and over 15 000 people getting infected every day but they never even think of locking economy because they are organised and they value and care for their people

    Mr chiwenga, the covid rate in Zimbabwe is not all that serious so that you can introduce a 30 day lockdown, you should also consider the economy of the country, what are the people going to eat, you are killing these people more than the covid19 itself, sit down and think again

    Who can stop God from taking his own. If you are to die with Covid no government, professor or doctor who can help. If you not on the list of those who are going to die of covid the same God will see you through.

    There is 30 days leave to someone and there is 30 days lockdown.My guess on this lockdown must be protex not politics.
