Seemingly, the government of Zimbabwe is not in a position to acquire the necessary supplies to be able to even vaccinate said 60 percent of the citizens.
The protest erupted after many citizens attempted to get vaccinations at various centers but were unsuccessful due to the shortages of vaccines.
KDRTV also understands that the crowd became angrier after the government authorities tried to skip commenting on the apparent shortages of the Covid-19 supplies.
