Government’s Failure To Pay November Salaries Leaves Teachers Fearing A Bleak Christmas

Zimbabwean teachers are concerned about the government’s ability to pay their salaries in the coming months, following its failure to disburse the local currency (ZiG) component of civil servants’ November 2024 salary and bonus.

Teachers are worried that if the government has already failed to pay their wages and bonuses this month, it may fail again next month, causing them to endure a bleak Christmas.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, November 26, the Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (ZIMTA), the country’s largest teachers’ union, said that thousands of teachers are still owed November’s salaries and bonuses.

ZIMTA president Akuneni Maphosa said this situation exacerbates feelings of frustration and uncertainty about future payments. Said Maphosa:

There has been no adequate explanation or prior notice regarding the omission of the ZiG component. This lack of transparency exacerbates feelings of frustration and uncertainty about future payments.

This reminds all employees of the dark period of 2008 and subsequent years when the Zimbabwean currency collapsed absolutely.

Outside any explanation, this perception holds true and may fuel uncertainty that will breed self-perpetuating inflation.

Maphosa said that the omission has caused significant financial hardship and raised serious questions about the fairness, transparency, and integrity of the employer’s commitment to honouring contractual obligations.

He said that the exclusion of ZiG from the November 2024 payments constitutes a breach of employment terms and has eroded trust between employees and employers.

Maphosa also noted that the failure to pay what is rightfully owed feels like a devaluation of their efforts, morale, and dignity as educators and public servants.

The ZIMTA president demanded that the full ZiG component of the November 2024 salary and bonus be paid without delay to all affected employees.

He also called for the government to provide a formal explanation for this lapse and a public assurance that such omissions will not recur.

Maphosa urged for dialogue between the government and civil servants to address employee concerns and prevent further breaches of contract or communication gaps.

It's so shameful that even elderly pensioners have not been paid. 2030 pay kunenge kusina kana Mnangagwa ariko.

ED is naturally a cruel man. He knows that all citizens, starting with the army and police are cowards. That makes him very comfortable. Akati gare garei okusvipirai mate kumeso for fun kuti agutsikane kuti akakutii dzvii.

The union should sit down with the responsible personnel to convert the amount to US$ to keep value, but instead they busy telling newspapers who jus publish their story...

Well we only have ourselves to blame, we passively accept every absurd thing this government throws at us, whether it's more taxes or crazy laws, we just watch and do nothing. That is exactly the kind of thing that emboldens them to do whatever they want with us forgetting that they are only representatives of the people not our gods. So if we continue with our individualism, expect these kinds of things to continue indefinitely.

Well said. You can say that again bro. Every passing day this regime tests us to measure our cowardice. Imagine they pay the police and army and say absolutely nothing about teachers, pensioners and the rest. Dead and deafening government silence like it's normal not to pay.
