"Avoid appointing people with corruption records": ZCTU advises Mnangagwa

 In an interview with NewsDay, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) secretary-general Japhet Moyo said that warned President Emmerson Mnangagwa not to appoint people with corruption records in his new cabinet.

Said Moyo:

We expect the new President to reform because if he follows on the footsteps of his predecessor (former President Robert) Mugabe then workers will think that we wasted our time singing at the Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield and whatever the army did, because if his government policies do not change, then nothing is going to change. Investors only come into a country where one can go to a court of law and get justice, and they do not like countries where their money is not safe and their properties can be taken away from them.

Meanwhile, National president of the Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe, Obert Masaraure, said they expect Mnangagwa’s government to remove Lazarus Dokora’s policies such as the Teachers Professional Council which Masaraure said was meant to “punish” teachers. Said Masaraure:

We do not want teachers to be de-registered willy-nilly. We want independent teachers who are not victimised and salaries above the poverty datum line.

Masaraure said the new government should do away with abuse of schoolchildren, teachers and the use of school property at Zanu-PF rallies.
