ZCTU president Peter Mutasa says suffering citizens will embark on yet another job action to force the government to act.
“It is unfortunate that we witnessed violence from both sides. We have a repressive regime and some people who are mostly not our members who turned violent. We condemn this act. But let government knows that even if they kill us, arrest and send us to jail, the challenges facing our people need dialogue. As labour we are saying, let us solve this crisis together as Zimbabweans,” he told Newsday.
Mutasa said his life was in danger as State security agents attacked his family and abducted his son, who they later dumped metres away from the house.
“They assaulted my family, destroyed my property and I then asked my lawyer Alec Muchadehama to go and inquire with the police if I was wanted,” he said.
“They said no one was looking for me. I don’t know why these State agents are harassing my family. But let it be known that this is not my personal struggle, it is a struggle shared by many. We are giving government seven days to act and solve the crisis or else the people will down tools. They do not have transport money.”
