We Call Upon Our Compatriots To Hang In There - Zim Community In SA Urges Fellow Zimbos To Remain Calm

The Zimbabwean Community In South Africa has urged fellow Zimbabweans to stay calm and adhere to lockdown restrictions in South Africa, the Daily News reports.

Addressing about 3 Million Zimbabweans in South Africa, Zimbabwean Community In South Africa spokesperson Bongani Mkwananzi said:

We would like to acknowledge the efforts and actions taken by the South African government. While many of our compatriots are heavily affected by these measures, we urge them to stay at home and comply with the lockdown regulations We call upon our compatriots to hang in there! Please continue to stay at home and remain in the republic.

The same lockdown measures are being taken in Zimbabwe and the president of the Republic of South Africa has reiterated that joint efforts to fight the virus are being made with all other African countries. The less movement, the better the chances of not spreading the virus or getting infected by it. We call on the government not to declare those who have overstayed as undesirable

The Zimbabwe Community in SA will be in liaison with all stakeholders who can assist our fellow compatriots to ease their circumstances so as to manage their stay at their homes during this difficult and unexpected situation
