Public Service minister Paul Mavima has once again told Parliament that the government has no capacity to pay its workers the pre-October 2018 salary of US$540.
He said the fiscal space is not there.
“Reference to the 2018 salaries is misplaced. What we have to look at is: Do we have the capacity to pay the teachers?”
Meanwhile, his sentiments set the stage for an escalation in long-simmering labour tensions.
Apparently, government workers are on day two of their industrial action.
They are demanding better working conditions and to be paid in US dollars.
They want pre-October 2018 salary of US$540.
Civil servants trade unions recently met and resolved to go on strike.
