By Own Correspondent| A picture of one of the teachers’ pair of shoes has gone viral on social media amid revelations that nine members of the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) were arrested in Macheke (Saturday).

The teachers who have been marching from Mutare to Harare are demanding salaries in United States dollars.

According to ARTUZ spokesperson Macdonald Kondo, who escaped the arrests, police in Marondera called the marchers and ordered them not to proceed with their programme claiming it was in violation of the Public Order and Security Act (Posa).

The ARTUZ Salary Caravan is a protest march by teachers aimed at pushing government to pay teacher’s salaries in forex. The teachers are also demanding their bonuses in full among other grievances.
