allAfrica.com: Zimbabwe: Teacher’s Union President Fired Over ‘Academic Terrorism’
SW Radio Africa (London)
Takavafira Zhou, the President of the militant Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe, has been fired from his job as a history lecturer at Great Zimbabwe University.
The university labelled him an ‘academic terrorist’ whose services were unsatisfactory. According to the Financial Gazette, Zhou has already instituted a legal action to challenge the dismissal. The paper says it obtained court documents relating to the matter and these show that Zhou had a stormy relationship with the university Vice Chancellor Obert Maravanyika, over the 4 years he worked there. Contained in the documents are allegations that Zhou spearheaded a strike at the university in 2006.
