Farai Dziva|Teachers have rejected donations from fired Zanu PF MP Killer Zivhu.

In a joint statement, teachers unions described the donations as an insult to the noble profession.

Below is part of the joint statement released :

We are worried that His Excellency, President ED Mnangagwa, made remarks threatening teachers on industrial action before seeking engagement and remaining indifferent to the plight of the teachers.

Teachers are not for charity, but professionals who are only crying for dignified treatment, reasonable salaries and befitting conditions of service.

We are shocked by some acts of ‘benevolence’ in the form of food handouts by some misguided elements who want to hijack the teachers’ incapacitation for personal aggrandisement.

The nation should know that teachers in all public schools are not at work because the government has failed them and will not succumb to any threats.

Where there are incidents of teaching taking place, it is just cosmetic.
