MDC-T Vice President Obert Gutu has attacked Raymond Majongwe’s continued stay as the Secretary-General of the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe saying it is not a democratic thing do.

His remarks come when PTUZ has re-elected Raymond Majongwe uncontested as the union’s secretary-general at the same time reelecting Takavafira Zhou unopposed at the teachers’ union’ president at the national congress held in Harare at the weekend.

Posting on Twitter, Gutu said:

“I have got absolutely nothing against this guy, trust me! But 22 years as Secretary-General of PTUZ certainly doesn’t come across as progressive & democratic to me!!
Smacks of personalization of a trade union, if you ask me…!!”

The Union represents teachers and lecturers in state and private education institutions.

Raymond Majongwe has since responded saying he is not going anywhere anytime soon.
