President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration is set to deregister more than 450 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on allegations that “they are not doing anything with regards to those mandates.”
The Government has with immediate effect directed all non-governmental organisations operating in the country who were giving aid in the form of foreign currency to either buy food using the money and donate to the beneficiaries or give out local currency.
The president would do well to remember that organisations such as the International Red Cross Society and others funded the education of most of his colleagues and peers through provision of scholarships while they were languishing in colonial prisons.
