Zimbabwe braces for more peaceful protests

The country is bracing for more peaceful protests this week starting today as activists pile pressure on President Robert Mugabe's government to address sticking concerns that are taking the country down the drain.

The demonstrations were being organized by Tajamuka/Sesijikile, Rural Teachers' Union of Zimbabwe (RTUZ) and #ThisPeaceFlower, among others.

Tajamuka/Sesijikile spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi said they will be holding a protest today against the worsening economic situation in the country.

Tajamuka urged the informal sector, transport operators, religious groups, war veterans and civic society organisations, among others, to troop to their demonstration today as they head to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to air their grievances.
