OVER 100 nurses employed by the Harare City Council have resigned in recent months in protest over the non-payment of the COVID-19 risk allowance. The mass resignations have since crippled the operations of the local council’s clinics, forcing the closure of some due to shortage of nurses. The government has made a commitment to pay all frontline workers in local councils and government health centres employed either as nurses or health workers US$75 per month as COVID-19 allowance. However, Harare City Council nurses complain they have not been receiving the promised allowances and are leaving enmasse. Their plight has been worsened as their employer, the city council, has not been paying them and employees in other department their salaries. The resignations were confirmed by Harare North MP Allan Norman Markham (MDC Alliance) in the National Assembly last week who added that nurses employed by the Bulawayo City Council were also not receiving their promised allowances. However, it could not be confirmed whether they were also resigning. “I would like to clarify on COVID-19 allowances. The COVID-19 allowance for nurses in urban areas as well is not being received. Harare and Bulawayo have both not received at the local government level,” Markham said. “This has led to approximately 100 nurses resigning from the local authority here in Harare. Could the minister give us assurance that the US$75 is being paid to frontline workers in the medical profession?” However, in response Health deputy minister John Mangwiro insisted that government was paying the US$75 directly into the accounts of each frontline worker entitled to the allowance. “Payments are being directed to the individuals’ accounts. If there are any specific problematic accounts or anything, I will be glad to entertain that together with my team at the ministry,” he said. Harare City Council runs two main referral hospitals, Wilkins and Beatrice Road Infectious Diseases Hospital, which have been turned into main COVID-19 treatment centres for patients in the capital city requiring admission. Mangwiro added that the Health ministry was disbursing monthly COVID-19 risk allowances to village health workers (VHWs) to the ministry’s provincial accounts and the provinces were disbursing the allowances to the individual accounts of the VHWs. “However, some of the VHWs are facing challenges in opening bank accounts. The COVID-19 risk allowance for VHWs is 1 500 real-time gross settlement per month and US$75 per month on top of the usual US$45 per quarter.” — NewZimbabwe.com

The gender equality women enjoy in Zimbabwe today is well-earned from the shared sacrifices that women made side by side with their men during the liberation struggle, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Monica Mutsvangwa said on Friday. She was officially opening the annual conference in Nyanga of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators in Zimbabwe and delivering the keynote speech. She said the country’s Constitution, which requires the state to take measures to ensure that both genders are equally represented in all government institutions and agencies, reflects and honours the nation’s recent history as the product of an armed national liberation struggle. “I took part in the struggle together with many other youthful women and young girls. We fought an asymmetrical war pitting the population against a well-armed minority. “To win we had to organise everyone into a people’s war. It spared no-one as we strove for victory. Women had to equally participate side by side with their men to offset the enemy’s technological edge. “This gender equality should never be construed as an act of charity. That is why the revolutionary constitution of 1980 was founded on the bedrock of gender parity. Since then, as women, we never looked back,” she said. “Feudal bandage of male patriarchy was done away with. No longer does a woman need her father, brother or husband to be given majority status. She now enjoys full rights without any hindrance of male sanction,” she said. She pointed out that soon after independence education opportunities were expanded. Rural folk built classrooms for free to be rewarded with teachers from central government. As classes were opened, the girl child was accorded equal access. “This explains the 96% literacy rating by Unesco in a nation where women outnumber men,” she said. “From my vantage point of a female combatant of the Chimurenga national liberation struggle, I am really impressed. The Zimbabwe women have more than delivered in the last four decades of freedom and independence. “The most outstanding is the farming domain for a nation that is still dependent on agriculture,” she said. She said the majority of the 200 000 leaf tobacco farmers registered with the Tobacco Marketing Board were women, who, unlike their male counterparts, were prone to spending their hard earned money on the welfare of their family. The end result was rising levels of rural prosperity. “When Air Zimbabwe pioneered Africa’s commercial flights to China our women seized commercial opportunities with Guangzhou,” she said, adding that many of them built their own new homes in growing towns and cities. Zimbabwean nurses were in demand in the United Kingdom, Dubai and elsewhere. Other countries in the region welcomed Zimbabwean teachers, with women prominent among them. “Zimbabwe women have boldly ventured into mining especially chrome and gold as our bountiful mineral resources are reclaimed for the majority. “All these are shining cases of women breaking through the gender glass ceiling of

The handover ceremony between Tunisia’s outgoing Prime Minister, Elyes Fakhfakh and his successor, Hichem Mechichi, took place on Thursday in Dar Dhiaffa at the Carthage Palace.

The now ex-prime minister Fakhfakh did not hide his distaste for having to leave the Kasbah after only a relatively short period in position. He shared a few words, \"I am convinced that it is not possible to find solutions to the problems of the economy — growth, poverty, unemployment, regional imbalances and marginalisation, as long as there is no moralisation of political life and rationalisation, no protection from dirty money and everyone assumes their responsibilities.\"

National personalities, the former president of the republic, former heads of government, heads of parties and organisations, the president of parliament, members of the new government, and members of the outgoing government all took part in this handover ceremony — which marks the inauguration of Hichem Mechichi, as the 9th head of government after the revolution.

The fresh prime minister who previously served as the interior minister, Mechichi, who had received 134 votes of confidence in his favour, seemed to be in much lighter spirits as he shared his optimism going forth in his political role, \"The composition of this government took place in a context characterised by instability and a few months after the legislative elections and in a context of great expectations of citizens to achieve a concrete change in their economic and social situation, which has deteriorated in recent years.\"

Ten years after the revolution, Tunisia continues its democratisation, weakened by political struggles and its difficulty in reforming its economy. The current covid-19 pandemic has not aided their cause.
