‘Zim’s intolerance levels worrying’

CIVIL society says intolerance among Zimbabweans is worrying as the nation joined the world in commemorating the International Day of Tolerance two days ago.

The United Nations established the International Day for Tolerance in 1996, which is observed annually on November 16 to educate people about the need for tolerance in society and to help them understand the negative effects of intolerance.

Some civil society organisations which spoke to NewsDay Weekender said the day was insignificant in Zimbabwe, where cases of political, domestic and gender-based violence, among other human rights violations were rife.
