Teachers' union officials assaulted
A group of 9 officials from the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) are receiving treatment at the Avenues Clinic after they were severely assaulted by ruling party supporters at ZANU-PF offices.
Oswald Madziva, the PTUZ National Coordinator, said the group was at the Fourth Street bus terminus distributing flyers asking the authorities to act on the collapse of the education system.They were approached by rank marshals who said they didn't have permission to do this.
Madziva said they were led into a hall in the building. A mob of ruling party supporters who had been hanging out in the yard was brought in and the physical attack began. The PTUZ coordinator said they were punched and slapped, and assaulted with iron bars, logs and pieces of furniture.
