Masaraure suspension divides ZCTU

THE Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)’s general council has suspended Obert Masaraure over alleged misconduct.

But the decision has left the union divided with one of its affiliates, Zimbabwe Banks and Allied Workers Union, saying it did not endorse the suspension order.

“At its meeting held at Cresta Jameson Hotel on the 22nd of July 2023 the general council resolved to suspend Cde Obert Masaraure from the general council on allegations of misconduct emanating from the incidents that happened during the Workers’ Day commemorations at Dzivarasekwa Stadium on the 1st of May 2023,” read the suspension letter signed by ZCTU secretary-general Japhet Moyo.
