Demos Won't Help Anyone- Govt Responds To Chamisa

In an interview with the Daily News,  government spokesperson Nick Mangwana said demonstrations will not help anyone get a job or put anyone into power.

Mangwana was responding to MDC leader Nelson Chamisa who warned that Zimbabwe could face more demonstrations unless the issue of youth unemployment is addressed. However Mangwana said Government is doing all it can to create employment. Said Mangwana:

From the government side we are doing all that is in our power to ensure that Zimbabweans work. We are reforming in order to create an enabling environment for capital to feel comfortable. We are easing our way of doing business so as to bring efficiencies and cut out unnecessary bureaucratic delays. Regarding unrest and jobs it is very clear that the anarchy avenue is self-defeating in as far as job creation is concerned. The last incitement to unrest we had in January left behind infrastructural ruins and a battered image of the country as a destination to foreign capital. So going down that road will surely not help anyone get a job or put anyone in power for that matter.
