President Emmerson Mnangagwa has eased coronavirus pandemic restrictions to salvage the economy.
He has now allowed the informal sector to resume operations.
But, they must be formally registered.
People have also been allowed to travel throughout the country when necessary, he said.
“From the pains of the pandemic, we must now find new impetus to rebuild,” Mnangagwa said.
He added: “The liberalisation of our economy must continue in earnest.
” Although our lockdown remains at Level 2, let us begin to further open up, remembering that we have a role to play. Government, hand in hand with an empowered private sector, will do all in its power to open up the economy, to provide the jobs and the opportunities the people deserve.
“All our people in the informal sector, who have not formally registered themselves or their enterprises, are directed to do so forthwith. Once they can prove that such registration has been made, they can resume their operations.
“People are urged to travel when it is absolutely necessary … I exhort all the people of Zimbabwe to adapt to the new normal with a new, positive attitude.”
