Hundreds of protestors from Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) took to the streets Monday to demand the implementation of the 'new government' so it can take urgent action in dealing decisively with the economic crisis, as people continue to suffer.

WOZA coordinator Jenni Williams said at least 600 people peacefully marched in Bulawayo. There were no arrests as police just looked on as the demonstrators marched to government buildings handing out newsletters, which called for the formation of a new government to address the people's needs.

Although ZANU PF and the two MDC parties agreed to form a coalition government two weeks ago there is still no sign on the ground that the spirit of the deal is working. Food prices are soaring, water and power cuts are still rampant. "If only there was a new government in place we could be directly targeting that government... so that urgent demands can be addressed," Williams said.

The pressure group said people are still not safe, even after the deal was signed on 15 September, and road blocks are still in place around the country. The WOZA coordinator said the MDC should stop being "naïve" as this is still a "dangerous" time in Zimbabwe. She said ZANU PF is a party born out of violence and has violent characteristics, saying the MDC should do more than it is doing right now if there is going to be a genuine inclusive government.

When asked if WOZA could relax with a new government and the MDC, hopefully, in power Williams said: "No we cannot relax because they haven't delivered the social justice that we want. People were relaxed in 1980 and ZANU PF got away with murder. We are not going to relax and expect the MDC to just deliver. We are going to continue to be in the streets until people get what they deserve and that is dignity and social justice."
