Zimbabwe joined the rest of the world in marking workers day with thousands who thronged the main proceedings at Gwanzura stadium in Harare heckling a senior labour ministry official as they refused to consider the government’s economic blueprint, The Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Econimic Transformation (ZIMASSET).
Labour Minister Nicholas Goche’s representative Francis Mafuridze was forced to shorten his speech after a mob of workers interrupted him for vouching that ZIMASSET will turn the country’s fortunes as the government’s model to economic recovery.
Workers dismissed the ZIMASSET adding that it would serve no purpose in changing their lives.
Thousands of Zimbabweans are now into the informal sector since people are struggling to get employed.
International workers day is a day that the world celebrates social and economic achievements of labour movements, and promotes social justice and internationally recognised human and labour rights.
