Zimbabwe: VP Reassures Civil Servants of Bonuses

19 November 2015

Zvamaida Murwira — - Government has reassured civil servants that they will receive their bonuses as pledged by President Mugabe earlier this year. Responding to questions from legislators yesterday, leader of Government business in the House Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa said Government had not shifted positions in its commitment to payment of a 13th cheque to civil servants.

VP Mnangagwa was responding to Highfield East legislator Mr Erick Murai (MDC-T) who sought to know if civil servants would get their bonuses considering that members of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces had received their salaries minus bonuses. "I am not aware that ZDF members have been paid their salaries, neither am I aware that they did not get their bonuses. What I know is that Government promised to pay bonuses and we still stand by that."
