Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Harare City Council nurses have been left seething with rage after their employer settled their arrears dating as far as back as 2016 using the outdated USD1:ZWL$1 rate.<\/p>\n

In 2018 the government separated the RTGS and USD Nostro accounts and abandoned the fixed exchange rate of USD1:ZWL$1 and introduced a floating interbank rate.<\/p>\n

City of Harare nurses were owed between US$3 000 and US$13 000. The city fathers promised the health workers residential stands to settle the debts.<\/p>\n

Some accepted the arrangement and others refused the stands, insisting on being paid what was owed to them.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Health Times, one of the aggrieved nurses who preferred anonymity said she could not believe her eyes when she received ZWL$6000 instead of an interbank equivalent. She said:<\/p>\n

The council owed me USD6000 but was paid ZWL$6000. I remember going to see Matengarufu about this issue whose dubious response was more of an alibi.<\/p>\n

He said he found the council arrears in a mess. Like he was maintaining the mess instead of cleaning it up.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Urban And Rural Council Nurses Workers Union (ZURCNWU) took the matter to the Finance Ministry seeking recourse and clarity on this subversion of workers\u2019 salaries.<\/p>\n

ZURCNWU president Simbarashe Tafirenyika said some of his members received inhabitable stands in Mabvuku while others haven\u2019t received anything yet.<\/p>\n

Harare City spokesperson Michael Chideme said nurses can engage their management over that issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
