We will meet in 2018, says vendors

Zanu-PF aligned vendors who were demanding that newly appointed Local Government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere should address them warned Zanu-PF that would withhold their vote in the 2018 elections.

The vendors demanded answers on why after only two days of his appointment they were now being thrown out of the streets where they were eking out a living in the absence of formal jobs.

The vendors had no kind words for government, querying why Zanu-PF was being 'vindictive' to informal traders. They said instead of creating jobs as promised, the government was busy planning to "condemn its people to destitution".

This followed reports that Cabinet agreed to push vendors out of the city centre.

Vendors association, Navuz threatened to engage the international community if the government used violence to drive out vendors.
