While in Harare which is the capital city of Zimbabwe workers will do a march in the high density residential area of Kuwadzana that is if it is approved by the regime who of late have developed a tendency to refuse workers the right to march, in an effort to highlight that Decent work should also include decent housing for both formal and informal workers.
