MDC-T fails to pay workers

Opposition party the MDC-T is facing challenges in meeting its salary obligations for about 110 employees. The party says that it is owed $2 million by the government under the Political Parties Finance Act. There is also speculation that the party is facing financial challenges because foreign donors have dumped the party.

In an interview, MDC-T spokesperson Mr. Obert Gutu said:

We are owed close to $2 million in terms of the Political Parties (Finance) Act, but Treasury has not been forthcoming with the money.

Like any other employer in Zimbabwe at the moment, we are facing challenges, but then we are doing our very best to ensure that our employees are paid.
