The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association has revealed that it is fully behind the mass protests.
The former freedom fighters called for calm during the peaceful protest.
Association spokesperson, Douglas Mahiya, urged political parties to tell the supporters to be calm and churches to pray for peace.
He said it was imperative for the government to listen to the needs of the electorate, adding it was unfortunate that government ministers are not concerned about people’s problems.
At the same time, several companies have told their workers to stay home Wednesday.
Police have warned people against taking the law into their own hands, saying anyone who breaks the law would be arrested.
Yesterday, police maintained roadblocks at roads leading into the Harare city center and buses that ferry civil servants were manned by armed police officers.
Indications are that the ruling Zanu PF party’s Politburo is expected to meet tomorrow. The highest organ of the party, outside congress, is scheduled to discuss the current state of the nation, among many other issues.
