Tajamuka, vendors join civil servants strike

SOCIAL movements have said they will join a planned protest march by civil servants in order to put pressure on the government to address the social and economic problems facing the country.

Civil servants will on Monday next week embark on a strike over government’s failure to commit to paying them their 2016 bonuses.

Already the cash-strapped government is looking into the possibility of paying civil servants with residential stands, a move workers unions were not comfortable with.
