Civil servants in Zimbabwe have announced have announced plans to go on strike within the next 14 days if government failed to meet their wage demands.

This follows a crisis meeting they held with government on Monday, with nothing concrete emerging out of the indaba.

In a notice signed by Apex chairperson, Cecilia Gambe, Zimbabwe’s restless workforce said the collective job action has been necessitated by its employer’s continued failure to address its plight in areas such as salaries, housing and other allowances.

“The Apex Council representing the entire civil service hereby serve notice of collective job action within 14 days from the date of this letter,” said Gambe.

“The reason for this step is premised on the incapacitation of our members and the failure by government to address the same.

“The incapacitation comes in the wake of the erosion of our static salaries due to the sky-rocketing cost of living.
