We have to break Zanu-PF yoke

THE only way to restore the teachers' dignity is by voting out President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Zanu-PF in 2023.
Mnangagwa is insensitive to teachers plight. Teachers are slaves under Zanu-PF government.
Teachers are expected to teach a class of over 50 students while other Sadc countries are reducing the teacher-pupil ratio.
It was going to be understandable if the government was providing teaching/ learning materials. Teachers are to supplement the learning environment by purchasing essential teaching materials for effective learning to take place.
The accommodation for rural school teachers leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the houses for teachers in resettlement and rural areas is not fit for human habitation. In all this, the patriotism exhibited by teachers is beyond human imagination.
The paltry salary for teachers is an insult to their commitment, dedication and patriotism. With a salary which can't feed a family for a week, but still for the love of their nation, teachers have continued to work. If Mnangagwa was to spend a week as a teacher on such a salary, truly he would have no option, but to wage a bloody war against the government.
Zanu-PF must know teachers can't feed on patriotism, but they want food, clothes, school fees for their families. The teachers have an obligation to liberate themselves from Zanu-PF slavery.
It is upon every school head and teacher to encourage and make sure every staff member and their families at their station are registered to vote for change.
The biggest culprits are the greedy teachers who sacrifice lifetime liberty by supporting Zanu-PF.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission will recruit teachers as election officers.
Some teachers, for the love of one-day allowances, are prepared to be deployed as election agents away from their polling station, making them unable to vote.
In 2018, Zec presidential results show that then MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa failed to force Zanu-PF candidate Mnangagwa to a run-off with less than 32 000 votes.
Zec displaced five teachers per each of the 11 000 polling stations in the country as a rigging strategy.
In 2023, teachers must liberate themselves. There is no reason for teachers to fail to encourage rural voters to participate and vote for change.
Teachers are agents of change. No change which can be effective and fruitful without teachers.
