*Impossible To Pay Teachers US$520 Per Month - Mavima* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?fb Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima on Thursday said it was impossible for the government to pay teachers the US$520 they are demanding or its equivalent in RTGS dollars (ZWL$42 120). Mavima said paying teachers such an astronomical figure would reverse the economic gains seen so far. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- He added that the government could afford a minimum teacher’s salary pay of ZWL$18 000 a month. Mavima said this while responding to Midlands Senator Morgan Komichi (MDC Alliance) who had asked what Government was doing to address grievances being raised by teachers. Said Mavima: > I thought the Government has shown sincerity to the teachers. They should return to work while we negotiate. > They are insisting on US$520. Our country has reached currency and price stability, which has been a problem ever since. > There is no way we can pay US$520 or its equivalent without rocking the boat or without causing instability thereby reversing those gains. > We now need committed teachers who are patriotic. On Tuesday civil servants rejected a salary offer from the government which would have seen the lowest paid civil servant earning around $15 000 while the least paid teacher would get around $18 000. *More: The Herald* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
