By A Correspondent| Sources have told ZimEye that ZANU PF leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa’s regime has dangled out a paltry USD500 to several doctors who made a brief return to hospital.

This is all in order to cause division among the doctors so to frustrate their strike, a source told ZimEye yesterday morning.

For over a week to date, it has been the word by Mnangagwa’s deputy, Constantino Chiwenga that government will never pay salaries or benefits in US dollars, and Chiwenga is seen in the below video stressing this point. But by the weekend, doctors had been dished the US currency. The amount however falls far below the salary norm.

ZimEye could not obtain comprehensive statistics of how many doctors have received this amount. ZimEye could neither ascertain how the amount was treated in the books of accounts, as salary, or just a one off dish-out.

In December 2018, junior doctors launched a strike against their employer complaining about work conditions, and senior doctors have since joined the job action which is now getting into day 40. The doctors are demanding among others procurement of vital tools, elements, medicines, and an uplift of their salaries so that they receive them in US dollars.
