The Health Ministry and Masvingo City Council are reportedly exchanging accusations over “lack of proper management of the isolation centre.”

According to Masvingo Media Centre, both the Health Ministry and Masvingo City are fighting over who should supply food.

In a related issue, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe Zimbabwe national coordinator, Harrison Mudzuri has accused the Zanu PF regime of exposing civil servants to stressful conditions due to poor salaries.

Mudzuri argues Zanu PF is killing teachers softly through stress- related conditions.

“Because all teachers in Zimbabwe suffer from stress -related diseases due to their stressfully low salaries and because BP can be stress -related, the teachers’ vulnerability to COVID-19 is excessively high. First things first.”
