President Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba confirmed that the Joint Operations Command (JOC) met this week to discuss the health sector.
He said extraordinary decisions would be taken in the coming days to stop further destruction of the health sector and loss of life. Said Charamba:
When you see levers of State security coming into the game then you know it is no longer child’s play. Government is treating this matter as a serious one because it involves lives. Because it is serious, we are set to see extraordinary decisions being taken to put an end to this issue once and for all. We will not have any such development ever again in this country. We have had enough and the time has now come for us to take a very definitive position on the matter. We have a whole raft of measures that we are going to take and to the extent that some of the measures will have budgetary implications, it means the President has to be back. Yesterday (Tuesday), the Acting President briefed the President right into close to midnight. They were working and this is where most of the decisions were taken.
