Pay dates to be released on Friday

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare minister Prisca Mupfumira yesterday said dates for the payment of civil servants' salaries for July would be released by Friday amid growing pressure for the government to pay its workers on time.

This came after Mupfumira's meeting with the Apex Council where the minister sought to dispel speculative dates circulating on social media.

The cash-strapped government has been facing serious challenges in raising money to pay civil servants. #ThisFlag
