Zimbabweans have been urged to be patriotic and work together in order to resolve the current socio-economic problems facing the country.
This was said by the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Senator David Coltart when addressing delegates at the ongoing 28th annual national conference of the Zimbabwe Teachers Association, ZIMTA, in Bulawayo.
Senator Coltart said the government fully understands the plight of teachers adding that it will be difficult to resolve the issue of salaries in the short term as money is not available in the government coffers.
He said the government is currently working on measures to tackle the grievances brought forward by the teaching fraternity.
The ZIMTA conference started on Thursday.
