Recently, Pedzisai Chiresve, a mathematics teacher at George Chipadze Secondary School in Zvishavane died after falling headlong into a 15 metres deep mining shaft where he was panning for gold with fellow teachers. The government pays teachers a fraction of what it pays soldiers and police officers, a situation that has forced teachers to declare incapacitation (failure to report for duty due to poor salaries). *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
