For the second consecutive month, the government has failed to pay its employees, including teachers, their meagre salaries on time exacerbating suffering among the working class.
Most civil servants were supposed to have their salaries reflected in their accounts this week, but nothing has come as the Christmas holiday fast approaches.
Last month, November, some teachers among other government workers got late disbursements of their Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) payments while the United States dollar component of their salaries and bonuses never reflected in their accounts.
The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) made the claims in a post on social media this Wednesday, stating that civil servants were wallowing in abject poverty amid continued neglect by their employer.
