By Own Correspondent| Police details today refused to arrest and charge protesting Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) members.
ARTUZ members who are currently protesting in a demonstration dubbed #SalaryCaravan are demanding the payment of their salaries in US dollars.
This was revealed by one of the protestors while addressing the protestors who are currently camped at Finance minister Mthuli Ncube’s offices.
Said one of the protestors:
“We are in this struggle for US dollars not juat for teachers but for each and every civil servant who is earning RTGs.
We are happy that today junior officers refused to effect a command which was a violation of the Constitution and arrest us for exercising our democratic right to protest.
The junior police details refused to arrest us for close to an hour.”
