Zimbabwean government to pay armed forces two weeks late

African News Agency (ANA)

The Zimbabwean government announced late on Thursday, that the armed forces’ July salaries would be paid on Monday — two weeks late.

Doctors and nurses would be paid on July 27, and teachers, the largest group of public servants on August 2.

Most public servants have been paid late for most of 2016, except for the armed forces who were paid on time, except for the last two months.

Late payment of salaries contributed to the mass work stay-away on July 6, as teachers and government medical staff were on strike to protest about not yet receiving their June salaries.
