Teachers across the country have widely condemned threats of violence from a Zanu PF Youth League member.

The Zanu PF youth member who identified himself as Sayi yesterday threatened to kill teachers aligned to the opposition.

In an audio clip that was uploaded on various social media platforms, Sayi of Zaka Central Constituency said ruling party youths had been incensed by the White City Stadium bombing incident.

Teachers who spoke to ZimEye. com yesterday described Sayi’ s remarks as unfortunate and disturbing.

“This is a gimmick meant to intimidate teachers in rural areas.However such a redundant political manoeuvre will not stop the wave of change,”said a Zaka based primary school teacher.

” The sentiments reflect typical Zanu PF mentality. The ruling party is desperate to cow teachers into submission, ” said a student teacher who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Various platforms for the teachers and school heads also condemned Sayi’ s remarks.
