One of the affected workers, Jeremani Serepiya, said their children are no longer going to school. She said: > The children are here to just tell the management that they have hit hard times following the dismissal of their benefactors. > The children are no longer going to school because their parents cannot afford school fees, uniforms and food. > I was one of the workers who was fired and my pastor assisted me with buying books for my children. I am a widow and I cannot afford to sustain my family. > As we speak, we have been interdicted by the High Court not to set foot at the company’s premises. > We have been trying to seek an audience with the company’s management, but it seems they are not interested in meeting us. A Form Four pupil whose father was fired by Lobels Biscuits said she was last week expelled from school because her school fees were not paid. She said: > The company should just understand our plight as children. > It really pains me that I am no longer able to go to school because my father was unlawfully dismissed. > If the company refuses to listen to our plight we will be forced to write to President Emmerson Mnangagwa to intervene. | NewZimbabwe.com _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
