Banks began operations at 8 AM on Tuesday across Harare and Bulawayo despite Blessed Geza's calls for an indefinite strike. His war veterans faction wanted President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down. Workers arrived at their jobs as buses ran normal routes throughout both cities. Most people ignored the stay-away request completely.
The government had prepared for protests similar to those on March 31, when Geza successfully shut down much of the country. Civil servants received warnings from the Public Service Commission about skipping work, and police officers patrolled streets nationwide to keep traffic moving smoothly. Government spokesman Ndavaningi Mangwana declared the strike attempt unsuccessful.
