President Mnangagwa has endorsed the firing of all striking nurses. He said last night: “Government has done everything to comply with the demands of the striking nurses and the striking nurses have done everything to defy the directive by Government. This leaves us with no option, but to dismiss them.”

Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga  had earlier said the behaviour by the nurses was politically- motivated.

The sacking has been roundly condemned and is set to be challenged. The ZCTU is calling for a mass strike to force the government to improve the pay and working conditions of its workers.
