President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday pleaded with the country\u2019s restive workers to be patient as his government implements measures to restore \u201cdecency and dignity\u201d in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

He however, claimed that his efforts were being sabotaged by some members of the businesses community who are \u201cwilly-nilly\u201d hiking prices of goods.<\/p>\n

In a statement to mark today\u2019s Workers Day commemorations, Mnangagwa said the \u201cwanton and unjustified\u201d increases in prices was unpalatable and may point to some other \u201csinister motives\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply concerned by the counter-productive machinations by uncaring, insensitive, irresponsible, inhuman and unpatriotic members of industry, business and commerce who continue to frustrate and undermine the economic modernisation and industrialisation agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the price hikes had to be stopped forthwith.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy government will not stand by and leave workers and the generality of our people at the mercy of a small group of rent-seeking and profiteering tendencies,\u201d Mnangagwa warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge wall workers to remain resilient, hopeful and focused as we accelerate our determination and resolve to build the Zimbabwe we all want.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President also called for the protection of women against all forms of violence and abuse in the workplaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us also desist from child labour, foster fair and equal treatment; provide equal employment opportunities to all, include people living with disabilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
