CIO Officers Harassing Teachers For Failure To Go To Work - PTUZ

Members of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) are said to be harassing teachers in several provinces for not going to work.

This was said by Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) secretary-general, Raymond Majongwe. Writing on microblogging site Twitter, Majongwe said:

There are reports that the CIO is harassing teachers in Mash East Manicaland and Mat South because they are incapacitated and can’t come to school. For the record, this dispute is purely a labour one. CIO doesn’t employ teachers. Please stay away.

Teachers had their salaries decimated by the rising cost of living and inflation. The government last week offered civil servants a $400 cushioning allowance and promised to have deposited the money by Friday (yesterday).
