Teachers want meeting with Mugabe

State teachers have requested a meeting with President Robert Mugabe to discuss their delayed remuneration and the attempt to cancel their annual vacation.

The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) has forwarded the request to the presidency amid teacher complaints that the President is being misled about their plight by minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Lazarus Dokora and Public Service minister, Prisca Mupfumira.

This comes after the PTUZ has petitioned Civil Service Commission chairperson Mariyawanda Nzuwa, Dokora and Mupfumira to stick to the provisions of Statutory Instrument 1 of 2000 or Public Service Regulations, outlining conditions of service for government workers.
