"128 Teachers Dying Every Month Due To Poor Salaries"

The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) has said approximately 128 teachers are dying each month across the country due to stress caused by low salaries and poor working conditions.

In a statement, PTUZ president Takavafira Zhou said that the meagre salaries have led to a concerning rise in cases of suicide, divorce, and domestic violence among teachers. Said Zhou:

Poverty and its resultant psycho-social effects are killing many teachers across Zimbabwe.

There has been a quantum leap of suicides, fatal domestic quarrels and divorces as a result of poor salaries in Zimbabwe.

Our research has shown that on average two teachers are dying in every district every month because of poverty and psycho-social stress. Cumulatively, 128 teachers are dying every month and 1,536 every year…

There is an urgent need to intervene by the line ministry, Public Service Commission (PSC) and government to ameliorate the high rate of attrition.

The intervention must be in the form of paying teachers a living wage rather than the current starvation wages they are receiving.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa will go down in history as a President who caused the death of many teachers in Zimbabwe through starvation.

Before October 2018, teachers and other civil servants earned approximately US$540 per month. However, in October 2018, their salaries were converted to the local currency.

Currently, teachers are receiving around US$250 per month, plus less than ZiG2 000. The ZiG, however, cannot buy fuel and basic grocery items from the popular tuckshops.

Do not be ****, what about those ones who are not working, do you know that you are better than most folks do not politicise these issues be objective, you are busy collecting money for extra lessons which you conduct during working hours is that right, you teachers you behave like mercenaries you are not being forced to be teachers if your work causes death why don't you resign. Your union leaders want relevance.

@ Bishu just because you sling elementary school insults in a vain bid to make yourself relevant does not mean you are right... Since when does telling the truth equate to insulting.. Teaching is not the El Dorado of professions even a blind newt can tell you that... Erudite out

😂😂😂 whoever believes this baloney should go and get themselves a labotomy...Next they will tell us that climate change is the government's fault...The government does not have a sorting hat ala Harry Potter style where one is shackled to the teaching profession forever...These figures are not backed up by any credible source except the sauce imbibed by Zhou on his rendezvous with a strumpet... Teachers get paid way too much for people that are part of an insignificant ministry.... Teaching is a labour of love so if one decides to chase money choose another field... Erudite out

If their situation is that bad why are the teachers college filled with prospective teachers 😱 Many civil servants get the same amount of peanuts but you don't hear them complaining on a daily basis, they improvised .. The teachers want pity from the society as if they are patriotic, who in this platform doesn't know that teachers do extra lessons to supplement their income .. Problem yemateacher is that they consider themselves "learned" so try to live a life that their shallow minds can't sustain kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
