MASVINGO - Zimbabwean teachers, who are part of the striking civil servants, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe President Takavafira Zhou said: “We know that the government has 300 000 carats of gold seized by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). So the government should give us those diamonds if they say they have no money and we will sell them on our own.”
He also complained about the alleged politicization of the strike by Zanu (PF) to discredit Prime Minister and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
