TEACHERS’ unions yesterday blasted President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government as an “uncaring employer” for its failure to pay them a living wage.
In statements to commemorate World Teachers’ Day, the educators bemoaned government’s austerity measures introduced by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube in 2017, saying they had condemned them to poverty.
The celebrations were initiated by the United Nations in order to recognise the important role played by teachers in the development of society.
