FOCZ to challenge govt “theft” of companies

JOHANNESBURG – The Friends of Zimbabwe Coalition (FOZC) has embarked on a massive membership drive in a move aimed at giving voice and demanding an urgent stop to property, land and company invasions by the marauding Zanu (PF) government.

Chairman of the Friends of Zimbabwe Coalition, Sox Chikohwero, announced the opening of new chapters in Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth (PE) Wit bank, Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg) and Pietermaritzburg.

He said Zimbabweans must say a “BIG NO” to company seizures, invasions and persecution of local citizens under flimsy allegations aimed at justifying theft of property, companies and land. “FOZC is apolitical and we are indeed friends of Zimbabwe. The response we have received so far is overwhelming,” he said.

The membership drive was not only targeting Zimbabweans but anyone within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.

Echoing same sentiments was Mukhachana Mahenye of Giyani-Malamulele, South Africa, who said the initiatives by the FOZC needed the regional support in order to stop company and property seizures in Zimbabwe.

“Zimbabwe must preserve the little resources left in the country by coming together and challenge this monster called the Reconstruction of State-Indebted Insolvent Companies Act,” he said. - CAJ News
