HARARE: A two-day general strike got off to a slow start on Thursday with most Zimbabweans seemingly heeding police warnings not to participate in the protest against the forced removal of tens of thousands of informal traders and shack dwellers from city streets. In an address to Parliament, President Robert Mugabe defended the three-week blitz as ``a vigorous clean-up campaign to restore sanity'' in urban areas. The Opposition has said it is a strike on its urban support base. ``The current chaotic state of affairs where (small and medium enterprises) operated ... in unregulated and crime-ridden areas could not have been tolerated for much longer,'' Mr. Mugabe told legislators at the opening of Parliament.
