•Zimbabwe Teachers Demand Living Wage in Manicaland Protest.
Frustrated by years of low pay and worsening conditions, rural teachers in Zimbabwe’s Manicaland province staged a protest yesterday, calling on the government to raise their salaries from $300 to the long-demanded $1,260 a month. The teachers say they can no longer afford basic needs like healthcare or school fees for their children, while the political elite send theirs to universities abroad.
The teachers also pushed for restored benefits, including vacation and paternity leave, and called for meaningful collective bargaining to address their demands. “We are sick and tired of the peanuts,” one protester said.
Their protest follows a wave of similar actions, including an ongoing strike by University of Zimbabwe lecturers now in its ninth week.
