ARTUZ petitions Ncube over ‘poverty-inducing’ salaries

THE Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has petitioned Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion minister Mthuli Ncube, accusing him of committing “genocide” against civil servants by failing to adjust salaries in line with the soaring cost of living. 

ARTUZ president Obert Masaraure submitted the petition yesterday, issuing an ultimatum over unmet government promises. 

He warned that failure to address their grievances will result in protests and withdrawal of labour.
