Mutare joins the demand for affordable (and available) food (06-08-07)

Hundreds of members of Women and Men of Zimbabwe Arise
(WOZA/MOZA) took part in a peaceful demonstration in
Sakubva in Mutare today. The community-based
demonstration targeted the local TM supermarket
demanding affordable food on the shelves and an end to
shortages. The protest com


es a week after members
demonstrated in 11 areas of Bulawayo with the same
demands.


As in Bulawayo, the protestors delivered an open
letter to business owners and the ministers of
Industry and Commerce and Home Affairs to demand
meaningful economic reforms, rather than the
unthinking slashing of prices. There have been no
reports of arrests so far although police have been
seen in the area.


Following the protest at TM supermarket, the peaceful
group then went on to demonstrate through Sakubva
township where their numbers almost doubled as excited
residents rushed to join in the procession.
