Zimbabwe Teachers Association (Zimta) has said about 1 000 qualified teachers have lost their jobs under the government's staff audit to flush out ghost workers.
In a press statement Zimta confirmed the job losses, saying the matter was likely to take centre stage at its 34th annual conference in Harare this weekend.
"Sadly as Zimta holds its 34th annual conference, confusion hangs in the air for some teachers as a proven number of at least 1 000 professional teachers have lost their jobs due to the on-going government audit," Zimta claimed.
"We are in the process of establishing the genuine reasons that have led to their loss of employment."
