"Government will not allow any demonstrations at medical facilities whose purpose is to treat patients and ensure their full recovery. For the avoidance of doubt, Government will not remunerate any of its work-force in US dollars. Government does not print US dollars," said VP Chiwenga.
Here we go again, government acting like a big bully boy. Our health services have all but collapsed. V P Chiwenga and his fellow ruling elite have stopped using the local health service because it is now a waste of time. So why is VP Chiwenga making a big farce over something he and everyone knows is not working.
If this regime is serious about reviving our health services then it must admit the present political system has failed. This pathetic idea that Zanu PF alone has the right to govern regardless of the evidence of the regime’s pathetic failure is an outrage this nation ill afford.
The Apostolic Christian Council of Zimbabwe group of churches have said they will not support any demonstration that is done against the government of Zimbabwe.
Dr Ndanga has no good reason to support MDC but then he has no good reason to support Zanu PF either. He is just one of the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans who are confused and have no idea where the nation is going. It is sad that in this day and age so many of our people should be ignorant.
This comes as businessman Frank Buyanga has called on the UN - and greater western world - to give Zimbabwe a chance, and due recognition in global politics, as it was on a solid path to reform.
The private initiative not only comes as Mnangagwa's government has vowed to vigorously pursue re-engagement efforts, but is pretty much in line with calls for the west to loosen its trade embargo on the Harare regime.
Zimbabwe has just held elections and everyone who is anyone agrees the elections were rigged. ZEC failed to produce something as basic as a verified voters’ roll for Pete’s sake. And yet someone says the country is “on a solid path to reform”!
Buyanga is just an empty drum making a lot of noise, the dimwit does not even know that reforms the country needs!
"We have reached a consensus that the industrial action should continue until all the grievances have been addressed. We have realised that there is selective implementation of the demands, because nothing has changed in hospitals, there is no medication, no sundries ... The situation on the ground remains the same," Bhebhe said, adding that critical machines are still down, despite government claims of having put the situation under control.
Bhebhe said some of the important issues such as poor remuneration for health personnel have been totally abandoned in the discussions.
Good on the junior doctors! It is high time Zimbabweans woke up to the political reality that the country is in a serious economic fix and it is naive to expect the country to get out of the fix without addressing the white elephant in the room - the problem of the country by ruined by a corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical regime!
We have buried our heads in the sand these last 38 years and Zanu PF has dragged the nation deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth. We have paid dearly for our folly and will continue to do so until we finally stand up and say no!
“Government has opened up 204 posts nationwide for junior doctors, for which it is seeking applications from students who have completed their five year programmes from either of the medical Universities in the country.”
The advert failed to say the junior doctors will be paid a misery $385 per month in Bond Notes paid into a local Bank account from which they will be able to withdraw a maximum of 50 Bond Notes a day. The government official exchange rate is 1:1 US$ to Bond Note but in practice it is 1:3, at best. The hospitals are so poorly funded most the buildings, equipment everything are in advance state of rot and decay and is there is a chronic shortage of even the most basic drugs!
Zimbabwe’s health care has all but collapse and the country’s filthy rich have stopped using the hospitals and only the filthy poor use the service because they are desperate. Only those who believe hospitals are hospice centres for even the most simple and curable diseases, need apply!
