Teachers in Mufumbwe have staged a
sit in protest against non-payment of hardship and the fixed band
allowances.
This is contained in a press statement by Zambia National
Union of Teachers (ZANUT) chairman, Kenneth Kayawe Solochi, made
available to ZANIS in Solwezi.
Mr Solochi said the decision to stage a go slow by the teachers was
reached during a meeting of 117 teachers from 16 schools within
Mufumbwe.
Mr Solochi added that the majority of teachers in the district have not been payed their rural hardship allowance since April 2008 by government.
He further revealed that the teachers were claiming the non payment of
May, 2008, housing allowance and the fixed band housing allowance of the
year 2002 agreement.
Mr Solochi explained that the teachers also resolved that Mufumbwe
district should be considered as a rural area and not
urban.
Mr Solochi said efforts to persuade the teachers by the union,
office of tthe district commissioner and district education board
secretary’s office proved futile as they said they would only
start serious teaching after government addresses their plight.

wel done teachers,why should you be working so hard when the heard is just enjoying himself touring the world or sory inspecting the world since he has become the inspector general for africa.If i was in the country i would have joined you so as to humanism.He has evn forgoten that without teachers he couldnt be where he is today.He has 4goten that he passed through your care.Government pliz,pay the teachers it is their money.
This is good news. I hope they will continue in the strike action until their money is paid to them.
I hope the whole teaching force across the country will emulate them Mufumwe teachers and those from Samfya.
Let all benefit from the country resources and not politicians alone.

It seems the teaching sector is asking for money,my neighbours here in samfya at chibolya basic ve downed chalks want falanga three days now.president stop touring & solve internal issues.
