By Own Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has told Finance minister Mthuli Ncube to abandon his “unpopular Austerity for Prosperity” policy arguing that it is killing the majority especially civil servants.

Posting on its Twitter account ZCTU said that the government needs to address the economic challenges faces by the people of Zimbabwe urgently.

Said ZCTU:

THIS IS NOT ON , some worker reports that on Wednesday this Nivea body cream was RTGS$21 and today RTGS$69. We don’t want your austerity Mthuli Ncube, it is killing us. @InfoMinZW how does Government and Business expect workers to continue to work.

This Economic Crisis is now a serious humanitarian crisis. It can’t be ignored anymore. Workers have suffered enough and can not go on carrying this burden. The Government must address this urgently.
