By Own Correspondent- The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe has claimed that Public Service Commission (PSC) officials are harrassing teachers in Chimanimani and Chipinge districts forcing them to consent that they engaged in industrial action in February.

PTUZ secretary general Raymond Majongwe said that the PSC has dispatched teams to the district, where they are demanding teachers to fill in forms indicating they were on strike in February.

Said Majongwe:

Can someone tell me how the government, aware of devastation in this area, can dispatch PSC teams demanding teachers to fill in Forms indicating they were on strike in February? Teachers in Chimanimani and Chipinge are being harassed. But WHY???

The two Manicaland districts were ravaged by Tropical Cyclone Idai over the weekend. The cyclone destroyed roads, bridges and buildings, leaving hundreds of people feared dead.
