Spokesperson of the South African branch of the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ-SA), Doctor Ncube, confirmed the development.
“There is definitely no way the South African education system can absorb all the teachers flowing into this country. Finding a job in the teaching field has itself become an impossibly high mountain to climb,” he said.
This has left highly-qualified Zimbabwean teachers settling for menial jobs in the catering and construction sectors.
