President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday pledged to improve the welfare of Zimbabwe Liberation War Collaborators (Ziliwaco). Ziliwaco, which has a membership of over 134 000, had representatives drawn from the country’s 10 provinces and presented a list of their grievances to President Mnangagwa.
Mnangagwa said he acknowledged the grievances and suggested to meet the war collaborators at State House to look into them. He promised to fix some of the issues that needed urgent attention. Said Mnangagwa:
You risked your lives for this independence we are enjoying today. For many years, 38 years, you did not get anything for the contribution you made in the struggle. There was no legal framework to cater for you. Now it is time for us to correct this.
