African Press International: Teachers in Zimbabwe have fled from their schools
Harare (Zimbabwe) – Hundreds of rural schools in Zimbabwe are battling to reopen for the new term this week because most teachers have fled local violence.
War veterans and militias have reportedly unleashed a reign of terror in the countryside, and although many victims are said to be opposition supporters, ordinary teachers have also borne the brunt.� Teachers unions say the major targets of the violence are members who were presiding officers during the elections. These are being accused of rigging the elections in favour of MDC (the opposition Movement for Democratic Change), said Raymond Majongwe, secretary-general of the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe, PTUZ.
