Staff Reporter | Government workers known for resisting industrial action claiming that they are duty bound to be loyal to President Robert Mugabe’s government will on Monday turn against the aged president and demonstrate against his government’s failed administration of the civil services.
Information coming through to ZimEye.com from sources within the Apecs Council meeting sitting in Harare today suggests that the civil servants have declined a government offer to pay the workers their promised 2016 bonuses in the form of urban and peri urban land and demanding instead to be paid in cash.
Sources within the government indicate that the workers from across the country will on Monday gather at the popular defiance centre at the Harare Gardens demanding to be addressed by the President as talks with the Public Service Ministry collapse.
The government workers are understood to be vowing that they will not return to work until they have met with the President and have their issues resolved. The sources indicate that information will be circulated to all sectors of government workers including teachers and nurses to shut down government services until their grievances have been resolved by government.
State doctors are already on a mass industrial action which seen them down their tools for the last yen days which has crippled the hospitals countrywide.
It is hard to feel sorry for these people. It is the blind loyalty to a corrupt and tyrannical regime that got us into this mess!
Opposition leaders like Morgan Tsvangirai are not in the back seat, they are sell-outs. MDC had the chance to bring about meaningful change during the GNU but failed to get even one reform implemented because President Mugabe bribed them to kick reforms into the tall grass.
The sooner Zimbabweans know not to count on sell-out political opportunists the sooner the nation will get out of the hell-hole Mugabe landed us in!
It is the blind loyalty to a corrupt and tyrannical regime that has landed this nation into this mess!

You may say what you feel about about the Zimbabwean people but obviously I have my own views about these people. I want the oppositions to play full roles in a way that would help people energizer. People can only give them their full backing if they themselves oppositions are serious to push themselves and bring about the change people want. I don’t want the oppositions to be on back – seat drivers. I feel they need to be courageous and step up.
Unfortunately the majority have the patience of a vulture.
If only all these efforts will be channeled in one big movement, outcome may be different.
