Activists under the banner #Tajamuka today warned of more protest and demanded the immediate release of arrested protesters on Wednesday.
The activists said this was "the beginning of a historic process in ensuring the transformation and regeneration of our country".
Spokesperson, Promise Mkwananzi told reporters that the sporadic protests had shaken the corridors of power in the country as evidenced by the immediate payment of civil servants' salaries.
"In that regard, we wish to thank the people of Zimbabwe for their courage and sacrifice.
"There is no going back now. We need to press the regime until it has met our non-negotiable demands. If we retreat now, we stand to lose much more than we will gain from pushing forward until the current government resigns and spells out a peaceful transitional mechanism," he said.
He added: "We urge you to remain vigilant as we forge ahead with pressuring the government to comply with our demands" He said Zimbabweans will be notified on the next course of action, in consultation and in line with the wishes and aspirations of the people".
He also called for the immediate release of all the activists arrested for engaging in protests which started across the country last week, adding the police should refrain from using force when dealing with citizens.
