THE Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions joins the nation in mourning the sad loss of lives due to the deadly Cyclone Idai that had devastated Chipinge and Chimanimani areas.

The ZCTU extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of the over 80 victims and wishes those injured a speedy recovery. It is disheartening to note that the country continues to lose its citizens to such avoidable disasters. It is a fact that the authorities knew about the cyclone weeks before it struck, but did absolutely nothing to prepare for its eventuality.

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) calls on the government to unconditionally release its Secretary General, Japhet Moyo who was arrested upon his return from China where he had travelled on union business over last week’s stay away.
The arrest is an act of repression on the trade union and the ZCTU strongly condemns the act of the police as it is contrary to the Constitution of Zimbabwe that gives workers the right to demonstrate peacefully. Section 59 of the Constitution guarantees the right to demonstrate and petition.
