Zambia: Lecturers hit the streets in wage row

Lecturers at Zambia's biggest university will not teach this year unless their wages and allowances are increased, a union official said on Monday. Thomas Mabwe, acting president of the University of Zambia Lecturers and Researchers Union (Unzalaru), said lecturers would not take part in any academic activities when the university opens next week for the first semester of 2004.
