Our leadership has succumbed to the pressure from the membership. A street protest is on the cards. On Monday 22 June we will demand USD salaries from our employer. June salaries were slashed at a time when prices are rising. Against all odds teachers will take to the streets.

With inflation wrecking havoc @MthuliNcube chooses to review salaries of members of ZNA only.We may not have guns but we have stomachs.We call upon citizens to demand a living wage for Trs so that second term smoothly opens. Though wiped by inflation we still demand USD540

Today is 1 August we remember the butchering of our compatriots by the military on this day in 2018. Perpetrators of these acts should be brought to book. Rest in peace the departed.

We know all the tactics they will seek to employ, 1. "No work no pay" Teachers are urged to ignore such an empty threat, we have been working for years without the pay. 2. "Go back to work while we negotiate" For 5 years they have been negotiating now we need USD 540 not talks.

The employer is escalating efforts to suspend school Heads for declaring Incapacitation. They are picking on Heads because they think it's a small manageable group. Let it be known that any suspension of any Head will attract massive Solidarity from Trs. Heads are Trs. @ZimEye

Cdes @OMasaraure & Sheila appeared in Masvingo magistrates court this morning. They have been remanded to 26 August for trial. They face a charge of participating in a gathering with intention of causing public violence. The 22 June protest for USD salaries led to arrest.

Today we salute the Zimpost workers, the doctors and the broad civil service under APEX for acting in unison demanding a living wage. The private sector is also joining. Workers are uniting. Over 30 000 teachers participated in yesterday's job action. Today is Day 3. Forward ever

The 50% increment received by teachers today is a mockery to our profession. Cost of living in Zim is 44.9% higher than in SA but we earn 5% of the salary of a SA tr. This is the reason why we are resorting to protests. We earn below Food Poverty Level. We cant breathe. #31July
