ZRP Shuts Down March Planned By SADC Teachers In Bulawayo

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) blocked teachers from various southern African unions from marching on Tuesday to celebrate their regional sports event, which was recently held in Bulawayo.

The Association of Non-Aligned Teachers’ Unions of Southern Africa (ANTUSA) hosted its annual sporting activities from 17 to 20 April.

According to Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) spokesperson Peter Machenjera, the police refused to grant them permission to march in the Hillside area. He said:

We wrote to the police seeking permission to have an official march to mark our presence in Bulawayo from Fazak shopping centre to Hillside Teachers College, a stretch of five hundred to seven hundred metres.

But they denied us that chance to march and market ourselves just to mark our presence in Hillside.

Machenjera also revealed that the Public Service Commission (PSC) had ignored PTUZ’s request for transport assistance. He said:

As PTUZ we wrote to government seeking assistance with transport. Remember we have got the Public Service Commission (PSC) buses but we received no response from government.

We even wrote to government asking for financial assistance to host the games and there was no response as well.

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo, officially opened the event in Bulawayo on Saturday.

In his speech, Moyo commended PTUZ for organising the event, saying the games help foster mutual understanding among nations. Said Moyo:

ANTUSA games foster camaraderie among nations, promoting understanding and respect through the universal language of sport.

As we cheer for our teams and celebrate their achievements, let us embrace the values of collaboration and mutual support that these games embody.

ANTUSA is a regional organisation that unites teachers’ unions from across Southern Africa. It was established in 2007 during the BETUZ Annual Conference held in Kabwe, Zambia.

The association is committed to promoting regional cooperation, professional development, and improved working conditions for teachers throughout the SADC region.

Member unions represent countries including Botswana, Zambia, Lesotho, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Mauritius.

ANTUSA also organises annual sports and cultural exchange programmes to encourage camaraderie and collaboration among educators.

No one must stop them, they have their own rights to demonstrate. ZRP must cool down their temper if they want to protect the positions we granted them. They must act as professional not as if they are all bordergezs!!!

They should have gone to the Head of state , introduce they are selves and ask him for PSC buses and financial support. He is a listening President. The political environment is tense & any move can be seen at different angle so office bearers are now afraid to take such risks, so better off face H.E🤔🤔

Peter Machenjera is my homeboy l know him very well,the only thing that you failed to do is to inform security forces first. Otherwise you could have been welcomed on your applications seeking for support etc

Games and protests do not work hand in glove. As a demo they should have come in the first place, citing the expressed sentiments as the excuse their for absence.
