Teachers in Zimbabwe have rejected the government’s 70 to 75 percent salary increase. Negotiations with teachers unions for better salaries reached a deadlock over what they describe as the government’s poor offer.

SEVERAL people were injured, while three were arrested in Harare yesterday, as riot police crushed a protest march organised by the Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (RTUZ) to press the government to urgently release civil servants’ December salaries.
