Schooling in Zimbabwe did not get off to a good start on Wednesday when teachers refused to do their work because they did not receive pay hikes.
Teachers want their salaries quadrupled to take them past the poverty line but it does not seem as though they will get more than the R1 500 they received last year.
Education Minister David Coltart said he was not the one who fixed salaries.
Teachers and civil servants were angry when they heard production had massively increased in Zimbabwe and MPs had posh new cars while they got very little.
