Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance Namibia has released a statement in solidarity with Zimbabwe’s suffering teachers.

According to the MDC Alliance Namibia branch, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration is giving teachers “unsalted peanuts”

Speaking to ZimEye.com on Tuesday, MDC Alliance Namibia spokesperson, Robson Ruhanya said:

“Our teachers are not slaves. Teachers deserve respect…”

“We salute ARTUZ leadership for declaring incapacitation as it does not make sense for our teachers to continue working for looters in the ZANU PF government.

We are in solidarity with ARTUZ since their push for #safeschools campaign alongside with #SaveOurEducationZW is a legitimate and constitutional struggle offering solidarity.

Our underpaid teachers dont deserve these ‘unsalted peanuts’ they are getting from this insensitive and corrupt government which is not shaken  by the shoddy livelihoods displayed by our diligent workers in the education sector,” Ruhanya added.

“What mesmerises MDC- A Namibia is that when our defenceless and poverty-stricken  teachers fall victim to the pandemic, their peanuts cannot afford a one day bed in the elite Covid-19 hospitals,” said Ruhanya.
