Woza demonstrates demanding Mugabe to step down

Hundreds of people under the banner of Women and Men of Zimbabwe Arise (Woza and Moza) yesterday protested in Bulawayo demanding that President Robert Mugabe steps down, piling pressure on the 92-year-old leader, who has also been rejected by ex-combatants.

They marched through the streets of Bulawayo singing anti-government songs and briefly stopped at the NewsDay offices in the city before holding a mini protest outside Chronicle offices, police regional offices at Southampton Building and Mhlahlandlela Government Complex.

Riot police in vehicles did not interfere with the marchers, and instead accompanied the protesters to Mhlahlandlela the final stop of the protest.
