I can\u2019t stay at home while I have nothing to eat. The seven days that I have been at home doing nothing have been tough. It\u2019s better that I play hide and seek with the police and get to put food on the table than face the prospect of watching my family starve \u2013 Eliot Magama<\/p>\n

Government should have secured funding for the informal traders so that they don\u2019t starve when they are not allowed to conduct their operations. People are dying of COVID-19, but for me, there is no difference. It\u2019s better to die trying, \u2013 Onias Mapanga<\/p>\n

The government imposed a 30 days lockdown on 2 January to try and curb spreading COVID-19 a move that was challenged by Zimbabwe Informal Sectors Organisation (ZISO) led by its executive director Promise Mkwananzi. The court reserved judgment on the matter<\/p>\n
