Farai Dziva|Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Sekai Nzenza has attacked business operators for hiking prices of basic commodities unnecessarily.

On Wednesday Nzenza called upon business to exercise restraint on raising prices of goods and services.

“As we embark on this transitional journey, we call upon business to exercise restraint on raising prices.

The price hikes are hurting.This is why the President has launched the Transitional Stabilisation Programme (TSP) which has five key pillars.
No one wins as the workers revert back to business to ask for more and we eventually get locked in a vicious cycle of price and salary hikes.

However, as tripartite partners, we believe that caring for our workers, treating them fairly and helping them to grow in their jobs is a productive arrangement given that there is evidence that caring for human capital drives enterprise,”she said in her Workers’ Day message.
