Defining Moment for Teachers
By WekwaChenge
The writing is on the wall or rather on the chalkboard with very bold letters.
=That teachers have already sunk into total destitution is a reality. =That price have gone up by more than 1000% from the last salary increase of US dollars is a reality.

=That it does not need an economist but even mbuya vaJairos in Buhera to tell the nation that teachers are getting nothing compared to national prices is a true reality.

=That many teachers are going to be stranded at schools after failing to raise bus fare to their homes is a reality.

=That it’s either the teachers silently sink and sink deeper or fight now irrespective of union affiliation to save themselves is a reality.
=That many of the teachers are loosing focus of the real strategies by continuing to go to work despite calls for action to save themselves is bold and visible.

Where is our problem?
-Too calculative and smart to take action.
-Too smart and educated to think someone should do it for us.

-Too much hope daily for a better tomorrow when it’s actually a worse tomorrow by each day.
-Relying on useless handouts from parents thereby loosing focus on what we should be doing.

-Too much afraid of loosing our jobs. And more painfully afraid of anything including the non existent unknown.

-Too many Socrates, Piaget and several other theories making us negatively and foolishly reason a lot.

Way Foward
Remove yourself from that fake comfort zone and start smelling the reality. The reality is that while you are sinking down the drain Zimbabwe is moving. Instead of pulling it you are being pulled kuzvuzvurudzwa chaiko.

With new fuel price expect a threefold price increase.

Open your eyes.
It’s a defining moment for you teachers. Either you keep quite and suffer for good or you raise your head and start fighting for your salary. This is not a political fight but a fight for our salary and nothing more or less. We need the current government to be there by pay us well.
Our call and fight for US550 or its equivalent at bank rate as Ptuz and remains the only target. If we can’t fight for it we then can’t get it. Including heads of Schools. We all have to join the struggle this time.

Type yes WekwaChenge if we are together.
