Zimbabwe’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Felix_Mhona/">Felix Mhona</a>, has requested that rural communities provide a list of gravel roads that require repairs. He also asked them to specify the amount of fuel needed for the repairs. However, Mberengwa residents are expressing their desire for tarred roads instead. They believe that having tarred roads would be more beneficial and convenient for them.
Mhona, made the call during the question and answer session in parliament, on Wednesday while responding to Tinashe “Goga” Shumba, a member of the ruling party ZANU PF and a representative for Mberengwa Central. Shumba had raised concerns about the difficulty of travelling on these gravel roads during the rainy season, especially since they connect homes, clinics, and hospitals in rural areas. Shumba said:
<blockquote>
My question is directed to the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development. What is the government policy on re-gravelling rural roads? There is the Rural Rehabilitation Programme.
They are resurfacing roads, but they are not putting the gravel. During the rainy season, these roads are not accessible yet they lead us to critical public institutions like hospitals and clinics.
</blockquote>
In response, Minister Mhona encouraged rural communities to communicate with the government through the Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (RIDA) and Rural District Councils (RDC). He mentioned that the ministry is considering taking additional measures instead of solely relying on their department for assistance. He said:
<blockquote>
We are saying let us reason together, do your compilation of the roads that you require to be graded and the amount of fuel that you require so that we start funding for fuel through your rural district council and through RIDA, so that you will also be in a position to rehabilitate your roads before the advent of the rains.
</blockquote>
Gravel roads need to be maintained regularly, but according to Shumba, they are deteriorating further as the rainy season approaches. The minister agrees with Shumba’s concerns, stating that although they grade the roads, some of them have become weaker and need to be re-graveled first. However, he acknowledges that even after grading, the roads often end up in poor condition again when it rains.
Shumba’s question to the Minister of Transport, however, failed to inspire Mberengwa residents. One of those is Dr<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Takavafira_Zhou/"> Takavafira Zhou</a>, the president of the Progressive Teachers Union (PTUZ). He said:
<blockquote>
I certainly don’t see any expertise in this question from an MP of Mberengwa that is rich in mineral resources and has nothing to show for this. The 3 Mps from Mberengwa (<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tafanana_Zhou/">Tafanana Zhou</a>, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tasara_Hungwe/">Tasara Hungwe</a> and Shumba) must lobby for the tar macadimisation of our roads by companies looting our minerals such as lithium, chrome, lime, platinum, antimony, emeralds, copper etc. Apparently, Goga is just staying or mining adjacent to Chinese looting lime from Mberengwa. Why is he failing to move a motion in parliament at the plundering nature of Chinese and Kuvimba and the destruction of roads? Why is he and other MPs from Mberengwa not lobbying for local processing of lime, lithium, chrome, platinum, emeralds etc in order to add value to Mberengwa and beneficiation, I wonder?

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mberengwa/">Mberengwa District</a>, located at the border of three provinces – <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Midlands_Province/">Midlands</a>, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Masvingo_Province/">Masvingo</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Matabeleland_South_Province/">Matabeleland South</a> – faces a significant infrastructure challenge as it lacks tarred roads. In the 1990s, during Byron Hove’s era, there was an effort to tar the Mberengwa-West Nicholson road, a strategic route that would reduce travel distance for haulage trucks and buses heading to Zambia by nearly 100 kilometres. However, progress has been slow, with only 13 kilometres of the road being tarred until 2018 when construction resumed. Since then, an additional 22 kilometres have been completed, reaching Yorks township.
Mberengwa is known for its vast mineral resources, including lithium, chrome, lime, platinum, antimony, gold, and emeralds. However, despite mining activities by both local and foreign companies, the district remains one of the poorest in the country. This raises concerns about the equitable distribution of resources and the need for effective governance and transparency in the mining sector. It is essential for the government and relevant stakeholders to address these issues and ensure that the district’s mineral wealth translates into tangible development and improved living conditions for the local communities. Additionally, investing in road infrastructure would not only enhance transportation and connectivity but also open up opportunities for economic growth and development in Mberengwa and Zimbabwe at large.

Minister Asks Rural MP To List Gravel Roads For Repairs, Residents Demand Tarred Roads

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Progressive_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe">Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ)</a> has criticised the government for unilaterally increasing workers’ salaries by 100%. In a statement seen by Pindula News, PTUZ president, Dr <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Takavafira_Zhou">Takavafira Zhou</a> said the government communicated the increase amid negotiations. He said: 
<blockquote>
That the government team of negotiators in the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_Joint_Negotiating_Council_(NJNC)">NJNC (National Joint Negotiating Council) </a> failed to turn up for a pencilled meeting on 20 March is unfortunate in a country 43 years after attaining independence. Needless to mention that it was the government team of negotiators that had postponed the meeting from 17th of March. As if that was not enough a government document dated 15 March, from Sec for Finance &amp; Economic Development (<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/George_Guvamatanga">G. Guvamatanga)</a> to the chairman of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Civil_Service_Commission">Public Service Commission</a> (Dr V. Hungwe) seems to communicate the government’s official position on salary increments. What is worrisome is that authentic communication is made before the conclusion of negotiations, an indicator of unfair labour practice on the part of the government.
The government’s ultimate unilateral offer comprises:
1. A 100% remuneration review of ZWL emoluments from the Deputy Director and below for all sectors.
2. An increase of cushion and covid allowance from US$200 to US$250 across all sectors excluding the health sector
3. A US$80 teaching allowance to every teacher (indexed to interbank rate)
4. An increase in cushion and covid allowance for govt pensioners from US$90 to US$100.
5. Free Primary Education up to a maximum of 3 children at govt schools
6. Gvt funded funeral insurance framework
</blockquote>
Some context:
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/civil-servants-granted-100-salary-increment/">Figures circulated in the communique</a> are a product of figures discussed in the second meeting with workers’ representatives.
The government had initially offered a 50% ZWL salary review and an increase of cushion and COVID-19 allowances from US$200 to US$220.
Teachers and the rest of the civil service are demanding US$540 which they were being paid until October 2018.
The security sector salary review and cushion allowances are with effect from 1 February and 1 March 2023, respectively and are already being paid. 
On the contrary, teachers and the rest of the civil servants’ salary review, cushion and COVID-19 allowances are postdated to 1 April 2023. 
Zhou described this as “naked discrimination” and “a monument of Zimbabwean labour injustice.” He added: 
<blockquote>
We don’t need to have access to guns in order to be treated in the same manner as our brothers and sisters in the security sector. We don’t begrudge their salaries but outright discrimination as professionals in the total flouting of our national constitution.
As Ptuz we want, therefore, to reiterate that it would be naive to blame negotiators for government unilateralism and discrimination against teachers and the rest of the civil servants. The blame must be laid squarely on the government’s desire to generate industrial disharmony that militates against productivity in the workplace. Above all, govt is undermining trade unions in Zimbabwe in a dangerous attempt to capture workers by false paternalistic antics.
</blockquote>
2018 to date:
Zimbabwe has experienced significant economic challenges in recent years, including high inflation rates and currency devaluation. 
These challenges have led to widespread wage cuts and layoffs in many sectors, leaving many workers struggling to make ends meet.
In 2018, the government of Zimbabwe announced a salary increase for civil servants, which was seen as a positive development by many workers. However, the impact of this increase was limited by inflation and the devaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar, which has continued to depreciate against major currencies. 
Over the years, healthcare workers, teachers, and civil servants have embarked on industrial action demanding better pay and working conditions. 
The strikes were met with a heavy-handed response from the government.

PTUZ Criticises Government As Workers' Salaries Increase By 100%

Teachers have written to the government requesting a meeting over salaries with the hope that they will get a rescue package before schools open for the first term of 2023 on Monday 09 January.
The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Progressive_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe">Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ)</a> said it would deliver a letter to the Public Service Commission (PSC) this Tuesday demanding an urgent meeting to discuss salary issues.
PTUZ president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Takavafira_Zhou">Takavafira Zhou</a> told NewsDay:
<blockquote>
We have written a letter today (yesterday) to the PSC requesting an urgent meeting before the end of this week to solve our grievances, and we will deliver it today.
The most important thing is to resolve the issue of salaries and conditions of service because no one can turn up for work using an eroded December salary. We have hinted at getting a rescue package before schools open and it is our hope that they will agree to our pleas.
</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Amalgamated_Rural_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe">Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ)</a> president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Obert_Masaraure">Obert Masaraure</a> said they had resolved to go on strike when schools open next week. He is cited by NewsDay as saying:
<blockquote>
(Finance minister) <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mthuli_Ncube">Mthuli Ncube</a> has killed all the hope for a successful opening of schools for the first term of 2023. The teachers remain trapped in the challenges of 2022.
We conducted a strike ballot asking teachers to decide whether they wanted to go back to work under the current salary structure. 99% of the 52 340 teachers who have participated so far are in favour of going on strike.
We are engaging other unions to see if it’s possible to go on a united nationwide strike. If union bureaucrats choose not to participate, we will be engaging in a high impact collective action led from below by the teachers themselves.
</blockquote>
Ncube recently said the government had “tried its best” to improve the welfare of teachers and other civil servants given the circumstances.
In a statement, Zimbabwe National Union of School Heads secretary-general Munyaradzi Majoni said educators want to return to work, but need more pay to sustain themselves.
Workers have over the years demanded US$540 or better.

Teachers "Hope" To Get A Rescue Package Before Schools Open

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Takavafira_Zhou">Takavafira Zhou</a>, the president of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Progressive_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe">Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ)</a> has said the Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) must stop taking teachers for granted amid reports that examination markers have not been paid their allowances.
<blockquote>
<h2>Zimsec Must Stop Taking Teachers for Granted</h2>
20 February 2022
The responsibility of running a country’s examination centre is not child play. ZIMSEC must stop forthwith treating teachers who are examiners as if they are of no account.
Reports that we are receiving across the country are unenviable. That teachers who checked in for marking as far back as 9 February have not been paid their T &amp; S is unfortunate in a situation where markers are not in residential accommodation. We have also received reports of examiners becoming stressed and collapsing and dying because of Zimsec ill-treatment. We are aware that examiners started boycotting marking examinations yesterday, and that the boycott continued today. Zimsec must urgently resolve the quandary teachers are facing or else face the wrath of teachers. The naked exploitation where Zimsec unilaterally changes rates communicated to examiners at marking centres must stop forthwith. Zimsec must also stop its systematic targeting of examiners who give positive criticisms tailor-made to nourish Zimsec leadership.
Zimsec must abandon its one-armed banditry nature and embrace dialogue that promotes industrial harmony and productivity. Examiners must also wake up from their deep slumber and demand better treatment from ZIMSEC.
Dr Takavafira M. Zhou, PTUZ President

ZIMSEC Must Stop Taking Teachers For Granted - Takavafira Zhou

The President of the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ), Dr Takavafira Zhou has accused the government of taking failing to prioritise the safety of learners and teachers.
He said the government is waiting for schools to be severely affected by the virus before it decides to seal them off. He said:
<blockquote>The government is adamant that in spite of an acute increase of COVID-19 cases among school-age children, schools will continue to operate. Over 30 schools and over 600 pupils and teachers have been affected, and the government seems to have adopted a one-size-fits-all approach in which it waits for COVID-19 to run riot in a school and then close the school.</blockquote>
His remarks come at the backdrop of a surge in the number of coronavirus cases in schools.
Some learning institutions including John Tallach and Matobo High Schools and Kwekwe Polytechnic have been closed after learners and teachers had tested positive for the coronnavirus.
Although calls for the closure of schools have increased recently, the government seems determined to see the current term through.
When schools were reopened on 28 September this year, some stakeholders claimed schools were not ready but the government insisted all mechanisms to curb the spread of the coronnavirus were in place.

Govt Waits For COVID-19 To Run Riot In Schools - Zhou

Some of the opposition MDC Alliance officials in the Midlands province including members of the provincial executive, the youth wing, women’s wing, MPs, and councillors are reportedly in hiding after being hunted by suspected state security agents.
The reports come amid deployment of security forces to frustrate planned anti-government protests scheduled for this Friday.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe, one of the activists, Sekai Marashe, an MDC Alliance Kwekwe town youth official said she is hiding as she feared arrest. She said:
<blockquote>I was tipped off that the members of the State Security were looking for me. I was advised to find a safe house to lie low since their visit had sinister motives.
I was, therefore, forced to go into hiding.</blockquote>
Another MDC top politician and Mbizo MP, Settlement Chikwinya, also confirmed he had gone hiding ahead of Friday protests.
The development was confirmed by MDC Alliance Midlands provincial spokesperson Takavafira Zhou who said State security agents were targeting their membership in the Midlands province.
He added that the party’s officials were being targeted as a result of the false assumption that it was the MDC Alliance that had called this Friday’s anti-government demonstration.
