The Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers (CZR) has called on the government to consider the lifting of bans on the operation of bars and liquor outlets saying over 16000 bottle stores have been affected during the lockdown
Speaking on Great Dyke TV on the weekly series State of the Industry, CZR President Denford Mutashu said as retailers, they are confident that Zimbabweans have largely been peaceful during the lockdown adding that the re-opening of these bottle stores will not cause headaches for the authorities as imbibers will practice social distancing.
He added the CZR is also looking at stabilising the supply of general goods and services across many ranges of products beginning with basic commodities such as mealie meal, cooking oil, rice, laundry soap, general poultry products as well as meat and other products.
