Teachers blast Tsvangirai

Teachers’ unions have demanded that Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai back his words with action after the MDC-T leader reportedly dismissed the government’s recent civil service salary increment as inadequate. “We want to find out what the premier is putting on the table for us. We met him and he sang the same chorus that Government is broke, and now there is something, he is saying it’s too little,” Zimbabwe Teachers Association chief executive Manuel Nyawo was today quoted as saying. The government recently said it was increasing salaries of civil servants to half the poverty datum line.
