By A Correspondent- Farm-workers have joined the country’s working-class in denouncing the President Emmerson Mnangagwa administration which they said is allowing employers to pay them slave wage.

The farm workers said Workers Day was meaningless to them given the paltry salaries they are being paid.

Through the National Employment Council for the Agricultural Industry of Zimbabwe farm-workers said the lowest paid farm-worker is getting a paltry $4 000, which is not enough to cushion them in the hyperinflationary environment and the dollarized economy.

Progressive Agriculture and Allied Industries Workers Union of Zimbabwe general-secretary Raymond Sixpence said there was a need for the government to address the plight of farmworkers whose situation was dire.

“They do a lot for the country and the agrarian-based economy, but they remain ignored. Something needs to be done,” he said.
