UZ suspends union leaders, again

IN a new twist to the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) indefinite strike, authorities at the institution of higher learning have written fresh suspension letters to members of the Association of University Teachers (AUT) on revised charges.

The UZ has summoned AUT leaders to appear before a disciplinary hearing.

In a letter dated May 5, 2025 addressed to all the five union leaders, UZ vice-chancellor Paul Mapfumo revised the allegations to only the use of the Great Hall without permission, thereby disrupting classes.
