Last year, government approved a new teachers’ union with the moniker “Teachers for ED (Economic Development).

Numerous ForED groups that are endorsing Zanu PF presidential candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa in the forthcoming polls have been formed, compelling civil servants, students and even pastors to join and pledge allegiance to the ruling party.
