Esinye isakhamuzi se Harare esingakahlatshwa uMnu Michael Sibanda uthi uvumelana le ZCTU esithi ukholo lwakhe kalumvumeli ukuhlatshwa.
“Mina ngibona engani abantu kakumelanga bahahlatshwe nge nkani. Thina sikubona engani ukuhlatshwa luphawu luka satani. Thina ukholo lwethu kaluhambelani lakho lokhu, siyabe sesingabantu bakasatani”
Kodwa eyinye ingcitshi kwezempilakahle uMnu Peter Sithole uphikisana lalu mbono.
“Udaba lumgceke sixotshana lalokho okubizwa kuthiwa yi head immunity okuzakwenza ukuba umnotho uvulwe, ezemidlalo, abahlabeleli babuyele emsebenzini. Nxa uhulumende ezaqala ukuncenga abantu sizakufeza njani lokhu”
Umpathintambo obona ngezezisebenzi umnumzana Paul Mavima , uthi ukusa loludaba emithethwandaba akuncedi lutho, okuqakathekileyo yikuthi amacele womathathu athi uhulumende, izisebenzi labaqatshi bahlale phansi bakhulumisane phansi kwedale leTripatite Negotiating Forum.
Uqhubeke ethi ubhubhane lweCovid-19 luyaziwa ukuthi soluphazamise okunengi emazweni womhlaba ngakhoke uhulumende uzama ngazo indlela ukulondoloza abantu base Zimbabwe yikho ethenge amajekiseni ama vaccine.
"Udaba olukhona ngolokuthi, ama jekiseni ayanceda ukuba umuntu engahlatshwa kathetheli umkhuhlane kwabanye abantu. Njalo ayavikela impilo. Nxa uhlezi emzini wakho awulani lokuhlatshwa kodwa nxa ufuna ukuphuma endlini hlatshwa"
