Mahere Sues Lecherous Colleague | Increment for Lecturers
The announcement was made by Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education Frederick Shava during a meeting with Vice Chancellors from Zimbabwe’s public and private universities on Monday.
Shava revealed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who serves as the Chancellor of all state universities, had agreed to raise lecturers’ salaries to match those in the Southern African region.
Zimbabwe has some of the least paid workers in the Southern African Development Community region.
As of March last year, part-time lecturers at the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) were being paid a mere US$2.50 per hour.
A widely circulated internal memorandum from the UZ deputy registrar for Human Capital Management, identified as T.S. Makamure, confirmed that part-time lecturers were receiving a blended salary—50% in US dollars and the rest in the local currency.
However, Shava did not reveal when the salary increase will take effect.
“His Excellency, the President, agreed to gravitate our salaries to the regional guide,” Shava told Vice Chancellors.
