Political pressure group, Tajamuka, that is credited for contributions in the national shut down has given President Robert Mugabe until the end of August to give the nation a timeline for the resolution of the country’s economic crisis.
The group also said President Mugabe should tell the nation about when he is likely to step after allegedly failing to properly run Zimbabwe.
Organizers, Tajamuka Sesijikile Campaign, commended Zimbabweans for a successful shutdown, adding there will be more action until President Robert Mugabe’s government addresses people’s concerns or resigns.
Tajamuka, Sesijikile spokesperson, Promise Mkwananzi, said President Mugabe has become a sticking point in the resolution of the Zimbabwean crisis. He said "Mugabe must go."
The group made several demands, which Mkwananzi said were not negotiable. These include the immediate release of all people arrested during protests in the last few days, a return of abducted human rights activists, the abandonment bond notes, a reversal of legislation banning the importation of some goods and the implementation of the new constitution and electoral reforms.
The group distanced itself from social media messages urging citizens to march to President Mugabe’s official residence at State House.
Mkwananzi said he was aware the government was planning all sorts of things to criminalize their non-violent campaign.
Meanwhile, President Mugabe is tomorrow expected to address a rally at Chipadze Stadium in Bindura Mashonaland Central province.
He is expected to address the issue of mounting protests and cash shortages, among many other issues
