Dennis Tariro Zishiri- Well it’s a typical African thing. We all want to die in office. It’s sad though.

Below is the original article which drew the above reactions:

Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe’s (PTUZ) Raymond Majongwe has been re-elected as the Union’s secretary general, after holding on to the same position for the last 22 years.

His “partner in crime” incumbent president Takavafira Zhou was also re-elected unopposed at the teachers’ union national congress held in Harare at the weekend.

The two were once fierce critics of the late Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe who they continually accused of over staying in his position as President of the country.

The burly Majongwe who is also a protest music chanter, was once Dynamos Football Club secretary general.

Interviewed in 2017, when Mugabe returned from his annual holiday with everyone expecting the long serving leader to resign, Majongwe criticised Mugabe for refusing to step down.

“I would simply say: President Mugabe, welcome,” said Raymond Majongwe. “You did a lot for this country. But I think for now, the time to go is now.”

The same words however do not appear to be part of his own position. Mugabe would always refuse to step down claiming that Zimbabweans still wanted him in power an assertion that Majongwe would say as he, like Mugabe would do in his party, was elected unopposed.

Other members of the new PTUZ executive are; Deputy President Nokuthula Hlabangana; national treasurer, Ladistous Zunde; Connie Mavugara, secretary for culture; secretary for international relations Eberth Mashakada; secretary for women empowerment, Nyaradzo Munjodzi; secretary for health, Numeri Gwazeni; Peter Machenjera secretary for information and publicity, as well as Lovejoy Sibanda who is secretary for young workers.

In resolutions passed at the congress, the PTUZ leadership was mandated to ally the organisation with “other teacher trade unions, which subscribe to the solution of the trials and tribulations of the suffering Zimbabwean teachers.”

“The PTUZ will take all appropriate steps to establish an Ideological College with a view of instilling the core values and principles of the union in its members. Congress resolved to invest in coming up with a union medical and bereavement scheme.

“Discipline in schools must be enhanced. There is need to create discourse. Union must venture into projects for the empowerment of the union as an organisation and members,” the resolutions read.
