ZISO approaches court to protect vendors from Grace Mugabe

Zimbabwe Informal Sector's Organization is disturbed by the statements attributed to the First Lady Dr. Mai Grace Mugabe. The first lady announced that she intends to donate wares that were confiscated from the vendors by the municipal police. This is an illegal exercise.

ZISO questions the laws relied upon by the municipal police in confiscating the goods. ZISO will make an urgent court application to stop the first lady from donating wares which do not belong to her.

ZISO further urges government to continue to uphold the rule of law, in particular respect for property rights. The move by the first lady has the potential of encouraging people to venture into corrupt practices within the informal sector using her name.

She must STOP IT.
