VP Chiwenga should revoke firing of nurses, negotiate

VICE-PRESIDENT Constantino Chiwenga on Tuesday announced that all striking nurses had been fired, probably the most unwarranted and drastic decision ever taken.

Chiwenga announced that the nurses had been offered some money but they continued with the strike, leading to their mass firing.

What this situation needed was tact, with the government negotiating with the striking workers, rather than this heavy-handed approach.
