Zimbabwe: Teachers threaten to strike over pay

Zimbabwe's teachers have vowed to go on strike when the new school term begins next week after government reneged on a pledge to increase their salaries. "There has not been any concrete response to address the issue of teachers salaries," Tendai Chikowore, president of the Zimbabwe Teachers' Association told AFP. "We issued an ultimatum to the minister to say if the issues of remuneration of teachers are not addressed before schools open, teachers will not report for work."
