Teachers strike called off

Good that teachers have chosen to be pragmatic. We all know they deserve better pay commensurate with their efforts. Its sad that elected so called leaders cant borrow a leaf from teachers. They refuse to pay taxes, receive illegal payments, loot from starving people and to make it worse live in excess with their huge cars, huge homes and security all at poor tax payers expenses! We surely need change and NOW!

Teachers please, do not allow any of you, to be used as pawns in a game of power. Your positions of trust and esteem, depends not only on how you deal, but as much on how you can play. Your leaders are no different from those they expect justice to emanate from, and as long as they get some personal benefits and their 15 minutes of fame, you are no more in their consideration than their morning cup of coffee. Teach our children and the respect you get from all of us is worth more than gold.

Now, what was the logic of refusing the same arrangement earlier? There isn't any difference! One wonders the change of heart and sing of praises!

I am glad that the strike is over, and our children shall be back to school. The government backed off, as when they tried to hire retired teachers, the teachers asked for their unpaid pensions in full before they got hired! The govt chose to listen to current teachers rather than pay pensions! Govt. ni bure kabisa!
