Teachers threaten to storm ED’s office

TEACHERS from various parts of the country and representing different unions have threatened to storm President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s offices tomorrow demanding urgent address on their work-related grievances, among them a 100% salary hike.

According to a letter addressed to the police in Harare, signed by six union leaders, the teachers said they would march from Zimta House to Mnangagwa’s Mumhumutapa offices, where they plan to hand over a petition containing their grievances.

“We write to give notice to your esteemed office that the following teacher trade unions, organised under the Federation of Zimbabwe Educators’ Unions shall undertake a march to Munhumutapa Building to deliver our letter of demand to the employer, minister of State for Presidential Affairs and Monitoring Implementation of Government Programmes, Honourable Simbarashe Mumbengegwi,” read the letter dated March 21.
