| Zimbabwe Orders Mobile Operators to Disconnect WhatsApp, Amidst Nationwide Protests |
WhatsApp, Facebook’s messaging service experienced downtime on mobile networks in Zimbabwe on Wednesday as protest action started taking root.
Zimbabweans woke up to no WhatsApp connectivity through their mobile phones on Wednesday, a rare occurrence in the country over the past few years.
Media reports the government asked mobile operators to cut WhatsApp connectivity amidst nationwide protest.
The protests have been organised to raise public outrage over government corruption, delayed salaries for civil servants and police roadblocks.

This comes on the back of protests in Beitbridge at the weekend over import restrictions.
