The educators said they approached ILO after submitting a petition and getting no joy from their employer including President Emmerson Mnangagwa over a basket of grievances. In May, unions representing teachers petitioned the Finance ministry as well as the Public Service Commission (PSC) demanding a formal response to their grievances. The Zimbabwe Teachers Association (Zimta) had submitted a similar petition before the schools opened. The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) later sent a delegation to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s office requesting his intervention in the resolution of their grievances and various challenges bedevilling the education sector. The PTUZ delegation did not meet Mnangagwa, it submitted a petition in which it warned the President that the education system was crumbling under his watch. Teachers are decrying low salaries and are demanding to be paid at least US$540 per month by their employer, which they were earning before October 2018. Currently, teachers earn an average of US$250 per month and around ZiG3 000. In a letter dated June 11, 2025, addressed to Karen Curtis, ILO chief — Freedom of Association Branch — Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (Artuz) stressed its disappointment with government’s lack of urgency in addressing the educators' grievances. “We note with disappointment that the government seems not to be taking this matter seriously,” Artuz leader Obert Masaraure stated. “To date, the only feedback we have received was an informal call from the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, ZCTU, requesting us to propose two conciliators for the process. “This request was made on 21 March 2025 and to date we have not received any feedback on progress despite our efforts to inquire through the ZCTU.” “We were hopeful that by now we could have engaged and resolved the raised complaint and subsequent issues that arose post filing the complaint.” Curtis acknowledged receipt of the letter and pledged to facilitate dialogue between the union and the government. “I acknowledge receipt of your communication dated 11 June, 2025 by which you forward additional information relating to the complaint of infringement of trade union rights which was presented by your organisation against the government Zimbabwe,” Curtis said in response. "In accordance with the procedure in force, the contents of your communication will be transmitted to government for its observations thereon.” Masaraure complained that educators were facing systematic persecution for demanding redress to their grievances. “On 12 May, 2025, suspected State agents broke into our offices ahead of a planned legitimate job action. The intruders dismantled office surveillance equipment and went through files kept at the office,” Masaraure claimed. “On 24 April, 2025, the Zimbabwe Republic Police blocked the hosting of the elective congress of the union. The congress was only allowed to proceed on condition that the union agreed to allow seven police officers to join all the proceedings of the programme.” Early this week, nine Artuz members were arrested in Mutare, Manicaland province, after participating in a peaceful demonstration on Tuesday. The group delivered a petition to PSC after the mini-protest. Artuz condemned the arrest of its members saying it was in violation of section 59 of the Constitution which speaks to the right to peaceful petitioning and demonstration. “Artuz will be engaging the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission and the International Labour Organisation to register this gross abuse of human and workers’ rights,” Artuz said. The Parents Teachers Association joined Artuz in calling for the immediate release of the detained teachers. Government previously said it was seized with addressing the plight of its employees. *_-Newsday_* 2. *FIRST LADY AUXILLIA MNANGAGWA’S DUBAI MEETING WITH INDIAN BILLIONAIRE SPARKS OUTRAGE* Zimbabwe’s First Lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa, met with Indian billionaire Prateek Suri during her visit to Dubai, and the internet has a lot to say about it. The First Lady is currently attending the 7th Merck Foundation First Ladies Initiative Summit 2025 in Dubai. On Wednesday, 18 June, she posted on her official X account that she’d had a side meeting with Suri, the CEO of Maser Group. She said the two explored several areas of investment in Zimbabwe, including education, mining, infrastructure, and sports. “Today, I met with Mr. Prateek Suri, an Indian billionaire and CEO of Maser Group, on the sidelines of the 7th Merck Foundation First Ladies Initiative Summit 2025 underway in Dubai, and we discussed several investment opportunities in Zimbabwe in education, sports, mining and infrastructure development sectors,” she said. According to her, the Indian billionaire expressed interest in building a university in Harare with on-campus accommodation. Mnangagwa said she invited Suri to visit Zimbabwe for follow-up meetings with Cabinet Ministers. “Mr. Suri expressed interest in the construction of a university in Harare with student accommodation facilities at the campus. I invited him to Zimbabwe to have further deliberations with the relevant Cabinet Ministers because Zimbabwe is open for business,” Mnangagwa added. But not everyone was impressed. While some commended her for showing initiative and promoting education, others questioned her authority to conduct state business, with some even accusing her of running “a parallel government.” Here’s a snapshot of how Zimbabweans reacted: @mcbaudy: Thank you, Amai, for your heartfelt efforts to uplift our youth! Your role as a mother figure shines through in advocating for more universities and student accommodation in Zimbabwe, truly a blessing for our students who deserve opportunities at home. I strongly support the vision of a new university in Harare, and I urge that it be designed as an inclusive and accessible campus, ensuring every student, regardless of ability, can thrive with proper facilities and support. Let’s build a future where no one is left behind! #educationforall #inclusiveeducation @Manpardyfp: On whose behalf do you invite them? Are you in government now, Magogo? @KwadaddyJay78: Why don’t you support local businesses to grow? These takers will never end poverty in Zimbabwe. Have your own to grow this economy and do our own thing as Zimbabwe, not this nonsense of inviting takers who do not respect your very own people. It’s so so wrong. Aaaaaaa nxa @redbakkie13: You might be ED’s wife (fake first lady), but that does not give you the legal right to discuss govt business with foreigners, especially seeing you even mention ‘billionaire & mining’ in the same breath. You are running a parallel structure, Auxie, that’s why you have the audacity! *_-iHarare_* 3. *TENDERPRENUER WICKNELL CHIVAYO'S ARROGANCE IS AN INSULT TO MILLIONS OF SUFFERING ZIMBABWEANS* There's a saying: "A soft answer turneth away wrath" - but what happens when arrogance and contempt are the response to a nation's cry for accountability? There is something profoundly disturbing about the attitude displayed by controversial tenderpreneur Wicknell Chivayo in his recent public response to reports linking him to a murky US$439 million deal to supply cancer treatment equipment to Zimbabwe - allegedly without following due tender procedures. In a brazen show of arrogance, Chivayo chose to brush off the legitimate outrage of the Zimbabwean people as the noise of "a group of opposition outfits desperate for political relevance." Such a response is not only a slap in the face of those raising valid concerns about the mismanagement of public funds, but also a cruel insult to millions of long-suffering Zimbabweans. It is this very arrogance - by individuals closely aligned with the ruling elite - that has become the defining feature of state capture and grand corruption in our country. The level of contempt displayed toward the suffering masses, many of whom die daily due to an underfunded and crumbling health system, is both unforgivable and inexcusable. While it is true that opposition figures like Advocate Fadzayi Mahere and Jealousy Mawarire have taken to social media to demand answers, the outrage is far wider and deeper than any political faction. The truth is that countless ordinary Zimbabweans - those who wake up every day in a country where 80% of the 15 million population (i.e., 12 million people) live in poverty - are asking the same difficult questions. Are these citizens, who want only dignity and survival, also to be dismissed as opposition agents? Does Chivayo genuinely believe that questioning the opaque awarding of billion-dollar tenders automatically makes one an enemy of the state? Zimbabweans are angry - and rightly so. They are tired of seeing their futures mortgaged for the benefit of a privileged few. They are tired of watching politically connected individuals amass obscene wealth almost overnight, while the rest of the population scrounges for food, medicine, and basic necessities. The question that remains unanswered is simple yet urgent: On what basis is someone like Chivayo, with such a controversial track record, being repeatedly associated with multi-million-dollar government contracts? Even if Chivayo's dismissal of the US$439 million contract as a "fabrication" is to be taken at face value, what explanation does he have for the R800 million (approximately US$42 million) that was inexplicably deposited into his accounts by the South African company Ren-Form CC, which itself received the money from the Zimbabwe Treasury? Is he asking the people of Zimbabwe - who cannot even afford Panadol in public hospitals - to simply shut up and cheer him on as he gallivants across Paris, posting selfies and flaunting his wealth? It is obscene that at a time when thousands of cancer patients in Zimbabwe are dying needlessly due to the unavailability of radiotherapy and chemotherapy machines, someone can arrogantly scoff at public concern over how such large sums of money are being handled. If Chivayo truly believes that Zimbabweans should not be outraged when they learn of massive contracts being awarded under suspicious circumstances, then he has grossly misjudged the pulse of this nation. In a country where mothers give birth in candlelit maternity wards, where our children sit under trees in schools with no furniture or books, and where universities have become factories of hopelessness due to underfunding, it is not only fair - it is moral and just - for people to demand transparency and accountability. Are we now supposed to stay silent while this looting spree continues under the guise of Vision 2030? Let it be said plainly: Chivayo does not get to define who has the right to speak up. It is not up to him to dismiss every critic as a political opponent. This is gaslighting of the highest order - a cynical attempt to divert attention from real issues by framing them as partisan attacks. But this issue transcends political lines. It is about lives. It is about justice. It is about a nation bleeding under the weight of corruption. To label those speaking out as "opposition outfits" is the highest form of disrespect to the people whose suffering has bankrolled the obscene lifestyles of a connected few. Many of these people, like myself, are not politicians. We are simply Zimbabweans who want a better life - not only for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren. When I speak out, I do so because I have received thousands of messages from Zimbabweans across the country - men, women, and even schoolchildren - who are fed up and disillusioned. They urge us to keep raising our voices because they themselves are unable to do so, fearing victimization or simply lacking the platforms. That is why I will not allow Chivayo - or anyone else - to reduce our cries for justice to political noise. We are not barking. We are demanding answers, and we do so backed by the lived reality of the majority of Zimbabweans. And yes, if calling out corruption and demanding fairness makes us part of an "opposition outfit" in Chivayo's eyes, then so be it. Because at this rate, it is Chivayo himself who is manufacturing the opposition by pushing more and more people into political consciousness through his arrogant dismissal of their pain. We cannot and must not be gaslighted into silence. The millions of Zimbabweans who suffer in silence every day are not nameless pawns in a political game. They are real human beings - deserving of dignity, of healthcare, of education, and of opportunity. Their outrage is not manufactured. It is the natural response of a people who have been betrayed too many times by those who claim to lead and serve them. Wicknell Chivayo must answer the people's questions. No amount of deflection, no volume of Parisian selfies, and no barrage of insults will erase the deepening anger and hunger for accountability. This is not about politics. This is about survival. And if he cannot see that, then he is even more out of touch with reality than we feared. *_-Bulawayo24_* 4. *FORMER MINISTER MZEMBI WELCOME TO REJOIN ZANU PF – RULING PARTY SAYS* The ruling Zanu PF party has said it is willing to readmit jailed former Foreign Affairs Minister Walter Mzembi to the party if he wishes to and meets the requirements. Mzembi, who was exiled in Zambia, returned to Zimbabwe last week and was arrested at the airport. When he left the country in 2018, he was on trial for criminal abuse of office and theft of trust property and has three outstanding arrest warrants for failing to attend trial. Mzembi was reportedly scheduled to meet President Emmerson Mnangagwa upon his return and possibly rejoin Zanu PF. Speaking to local radio station ZiFM, Zanu PF Information Director Farai Marapira on Wednesday said Mzembi will only be allowed to rejoin the party if he formally applies and meets all internal requirements. "If he wishes to rejoin, there are processes through which this is done, and if these processes are fulfilled and the requirements that are needed for his reentry are fulfilled again, then of course the party will take him in. "The party is always looking for new members or old members to rejoin, but he has to be in fulfillment of the requirements and dictates of the party. "It has to be in the party's wisdom to see if it is worthwhile to readmit him or not to do so, so if he wishes to rejoin, I am sure he knows how to apply since he is a former member," Marapira said. Meanwhile, Mzembi was denied bail and remanded in custody until July 1 for the resumption of his corruption trial. *_-NewZimbabwe_* 5. *RIGHTS DOCTORS PUSH FOR COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO ZIMBABWE'S COLLAPSING PUBLIC HEALTH SECTOR* The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) has urged President Emmerson Mnangagwa to institute a Commission of Inquiry on the state of the health sector. This follows Mnangagwa's visits to Parirenyatwa and Sally Mugabe Hospitals on Monday. There has been an uproar over the dilapidated state of public hospitals where there is a lack of basic medicines, malfunctioning equipment and low morale among the healthcare professionals. Doctors said Mnangagwa has had an opportunity to have a first-hand account of the situation and should institute an inquiry in a bid to address the challenges. "ZADHR believes that the visit provided President Mnangagwa with an opportunity to appreciate, first-hand, the state of public health services delivery system in Zimbabwe, which is generally plagued by dilapidated infrastructure, shortages of drugs and consumables and demoralised human resources. "ZADHR also takes this opportunity to urge President Mnangagwa to institute a Commission of Inquiry on the state of the health sector," said Doctors in a statement. According to ZADHR, the Commission of Inquiry should be mandated to enquire into the situation of health service provision by government and its agencies with a view to ensuring service delivery that responds to the obligations created by the Constitution, which under section 76 guarantees the right to health care. In such an enquiry, the Commission of Inquiry may need to scrutinise the current health financing mechanisms in Zimbabwe and the challenges and opportunities. Zimbabwe's performance in relation to the Abuja Declaration commitments on health financing and the amounts raised by government using specific health-related taxes such as the "sugar tax" since their inception, and their utilisation and utility, and "The current situation in public hospitals, with a focus on referral institutions, including staffing levels in relation to the staff establishment for these institutions and the poor remuneration of all medical practitioners and addressing the massive exodus in this critical sector. "The process must, therefore, be robust with full engagement of public health institutions, health workers, communities and other relevant stakeholders on the state of affairs. "Citizens must also be allowed to give evidence of their actual experiences of the health sector," doctors said. Recently, nurses also issued a statement urging the government to immediately intervene as the situation has already gotten out of hand. Nurses said they are working under impossible conditions. "As nurses, we are working under impossible conditions. We are forced to improvise daily just to preserve life. But we cannot continue like this. The system has failed, and the suffering is unbearable. "We call on the government of Zimbabwe to urgently prioritise the health sector. Equip hospitals. Support nurses. Save lives. This situation must be addressed without delay," nurses said. *_-NewZimbabwe_* 6. *GETBUCKS CORNERS PROPHET MAGAYA OVER US$420,000 DEBT... MOVES TO LIQUIDATE HIS ESTATE* Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries founder Walter Magaya is in hot soup following his failure to pay a US$420,140 debt owed to GetBucks Microfinance. GetBucks has approached the High Court seeking to liquidate his estate after the cleric allegedly frustrated efforts by the company to recover its money declaring he has nothing. Last year, the High Court granted an order against the self-proclaimed prophet, his wife Tendai and their firm Planet Africa (Private) Limited in which the two are directors for payment of US$420,140.72 together with interest to Getbucks. A writ of execution was subsequently issued resulting in the attachment of the principal debtor's immovable property being a certain piece of land called the Remainder of Stand 166 of Prospect measuring 3, 2323 hectares held under Deed of Transfer number 407 6118 dated 27th July 2018 by the principal debtor Planet Africa (Private) Limited which was declared executable by the High Court and was due for sale on March 28 2025 as the debt security. In the current application, GetBucks said efforts to execute the judgement have been unsuccessful as Magaya and wife have committed acts of insolvency. The court has been told that a couple of days before the sale in execution, the respondent voluntarily resolved to place the principal debtor under Corporate Rescue which position frustrated the sale in execution of the immovable property. "There being no further assets of the 1st and 2nd Respondent and after frustration of all execution avenues to frustrate the judgment of this court and to render it a brutum fulmen, it follows that the two are insolvent and their estates should be liquidated. "The 1st and 2nd Respondents are generally unable to pay debts which are due and payable. Procedures have been abused to frustrate execution. Entities linked to the applicant have been used to frustrate genuine execution of court orders. "These include the PHD Ministries and The Walter Magaya Family Trust," said GetBucks in the application. It also said Magaya and his wife are popular figures in the society with Magaya being a prophet at PHD Ministries. "The two have presented themselves as individuals with nothing and have used entities as agents. They should show the court how they are settling personal obligations and sustaining themselves," reads the application. "A prima facie case has been made entitling the applicant to be granted a provisional order pending confirmation for the liquidation process to promptly commence." GetBucks also prayed for costs on a higher scale. "This is classic abuse of proceedings to frustrate court orders and the creditor. Applicant has been put out of pocket unnecessarily by the 1st Respondent and have been forced to resort to this application. Costs on a punitive scale are warranted in cases of abuse of processes," reads the application. The matter was set down for a virtual hearing.

Edible Oils and Fats Sector has reached a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) which approved to pay workers 70% of their salaries in foreign currency. The CBA covers the period commencing January to June 30 2025. The agreement should be read as one with clause 6 (Grading and Wages) of the Agreement published in Statutory Instrument 194 of 2018 in accordance with the provisions of the Labour Act as amended. "The US$/ZWL payment ratio has been adjusted from the current 55^ US$: 45% ZWG to 70:30 split starting May 1 2025. From January 2025 to April 2025the USD: ZWG split remains at US$55% and ZWG 45%. The USD 70%: ZWG 30% portions shall be paid in the currency split. The 30% ZWG portion shall be paid at the prevailing exchange rate as at the date of Payment," the CBA reads in part. However, the agreement did not alter monthly allowances, which include Transport allowance and Housing Allowance, which have remained stuck at US$44,88 per month and US$61,20 per month, respectively. "The concept of 70%:30% ZWG split shall apply to NEC levies and trade union dues," the CBA added. *_-NewZimbabwe_* 8. *BUSINESSMAN MURINGI CONVICTED OF CONTEMPT OF COURT* Harare businessman Shingai Levison Muringi has been convicted of contempt of court after he deliberately disposed of a motor vehicle in violation of a court order. Muringi was convicted after a full trial by Harare magistrate Lisa Mutendereki. The complainant was Patrick ‘Chimpa’ Mutenha. In her judgement, magistrate Mutendereki said Muringi had only been granted temporary access to the vehicle which he then disposed of. “The court wasn’t there to look at the agreement of sale in the strictest sense but it had occasion to go through the court order and the terms of the court of order had to be read holistically to establish the intention of its issuance. “The car was subject to a criminal case that was ongoing, he (Muringi) was granted temporary use of the vehicle, and it was to be made available if needed without disposing it. “The intention was that even though accused was granted access to the vehicles he was supposed to keep it and selling the vehicle he would have breached the order as he wouldn’t then be able produce it upon demand by the court. “Was the vehicle going to be available upon demand after being sold, no, so it’s the court’s finding that he was in breach of the order as he knew that he was supposed to be in possession of the car at all material times,” she said. Prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawo proved that on August 4 last year, Muringi was arrested for fraud and money laundering resulting in his white Toyota Hilux double cab registration number AGE 2352 impounded and held at CID CCD as an exhibit. The matter was referred to Harare Magistrates Court for prosecution and he later applied for the release of the car. On December 18, the Provincial Magistrate granted a Court Order for the release of the motor vehicle from police custody to Muringibut on condition that he would produce the said vehicle upon request to do so by the State. He was also ordered not to dispose of the vehicle in any way pending the finalization of the matter. On December 20, Muringi sold the car to Chimpa forUS$50 000, he produced an agreement of sale and never disclosed the status of the vehicle to complainant. Muringi then hatched a plan to recover the vehicle from Chimpa and lured to re-possess the vehicle and reported a matter of theft involving the vehicle. Chimpa was arrested by Vehicle Theft Squad. During the course of the investigation, the status of the car was established. The car is impounded as an exhibit. *_-H-Metro_* 9. *MAN USES LIVE SNAKE TO SCARE AND RAPE WOMAN* A 25-year-old Chitungwiza man was arrested for allegedly raping a woman several times while threatening her with a live snake and a lizard. Justice Tatenda Charamba of Zengeza is alleged to have been raping a woman aged 23 since 2023 after luring her into his house. On the first rape, Justice used protection, and he allegedly kept the condom wrapped in a red cloth since 2023, claiming it had been smeared with juju by a sangoma. The red cloth had their names inscribed and Justice threatened the woman that she was not supposed to get married elsewhere. He claimed that her marriage would collapse if she slept with another man besides him. Justice persuaded the woman to accompany him to Manyame River to try and reverse the rituals after several sex escapades. On March 19, 2025 at around 2pm the two went to Leisure Centre Dam to do the cleansing. Justice was holding a bottle containing a used condom, a snake, a bird feather, a red piece of cloth which had their names written on it. He allegedly threw the bottle into the dam and the two parted ways with claims that he had delivered her from a bad omen that would affect her marriage if she was to get married. On March 21, 2025 at around 5pm, Justice visited the woman at her residence and informed her that a certain sangoma had told him that they had wrongly performed the cleansing process. He informed her that she was the one who was supposed to throw the bottle into the dam. To rectify the process, they were supposed to have sex, or she would do it with a lizard which he had in his bag. She chose to have the lizard. Justice gave her the lizard which was in a container and left. On March 22, 2025 at around 3pm, the woman had protected sex with Justice due to fear. After the act, Justice informed the woman that they were supposed to do it again on two more different occasions and that she was not supposed to disturb the process. Justice abused the woman several times on different days and places that included a bush area, collecting her panties which he later burnt together with the used condoms. In April, Justice informed the woman that his sangoma had told him that when they performed the last cleansing process some people had seen them burning the panties, so it had not worked. He told her that they were supposed to have sex from June 10 to June 30, 2025 to correct the mistake. The woman refused and Justice sent messages, threatening her and her mother with death., She then lodged a complaint with the police. Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case. “Police arrested a man in connection with rape and possession of live snake he used to threaten the complainant. “Investigations are in progress and he is expected to appear in court soon. “The victim has since been taken to Chitungwiza Central Hospital for medical examination,” said Insp Chakanza. *_-H-Metro_* 10. *MAN KILLS CLIENT OVER WHEELBARROW* A Damafalls man is on the run after allegedly assaulting a client to death for stealing his wheelbarrow at a bar. Only identified as Godwin, the suspect is popularly known as Bogus, and is alleged to have kicked and punched Cyprian Muradzi’s head until he passed on while his family watched. He was 25. Bogus found his wheelbarrow hidden in Cyprian’s bedroom following a tip off. Amid the assault, Cyprian’s wife, Tsungirai Karanji, 23, rushed to her brother to seek help and they went to the nearby police post. However, Bogus had escaped by the time they got back. Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case appealing for information that may lead to the arrest of Bogus. “Police are investigating a murder case at Damafalls in Ruwa. “Circumstances are that on June 15, 2025 around 10pm, the deceased stole a wheelbarrow at Danny Bar, Ruwa. “A follow up was made by the accused leading to the recovery of the wheelbarrow in the now deceased’s bedroom. “The deceased was questioned about the wheelbarrow by the accused and other people resulting in a heated argument. “The deceased then took two bricks and threw them towards the crowd which was questioning him. “This did not go down well with the accused person who then assaulted him until he fell down. “Upon discovering that the deceased was not conscious, the accused fled. “The body of the deceased was taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals Mortuary for post mortem,” said Insp Chakanza. *_-H-Metro_*
