By Own Correspondent| Teachers’ strike is purely a labour issue hence no need for government to view this with political lenses, the Secretary-General of the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) has said.

Raymond Majongwe said the actions called for by teachers’ unions does not deserve visits or threats from war veterans, youths or state security agents considering that should government heed teachers’ calls for increased salaries, the strike will be called off.

Said Majongwe:

“Reports of war veterans, yoytgs and security agents visting schools are on the rise. In Mashonaland East and West its worse. For the record, the action called for by all unions is purely a labour issue. If government responds properly, all teachers will be at work tomorrow.”
