UNIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE lecturers have launched a massive strike against their employer, government, after failing to get their salaries on time.
Every single lecturer has joined the strike as they voiced they are not backing down until government acts on their requests.
This came as they also met officials from the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development but nothing was forthcoming from the meetings.
The development also came after Midlands State lecturers began their own strike.
But UZ received the below comment from Media Minister Jonathan Moyo.
“I feel 4 the striking Cdes. Why are state varsities failing to be cost effective when private ones are not?,” he said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, sources at MSU revealed that the lecturers have not yet been paid February salaries yet it is almost towards the end of yet another month, March.
“We are still not sure when our salaries will be paid because the authorities keep on saying next week,” the source said.
“Last month we only got our salaries after two weeks of February,” they said

  7. We tend to forget that most university education is subsidized in Zimbabwe. If you look around and consider the fees for other similar universities in the region you will discover that most of these fees are actually much higher than those in Zimbabwe. The fees and those for accommodation sustain the operations of these universities.
