Workers in Zimbabwe say they have nothing to celebrate as living standards for most of them have plummeted.

They ascribed this to their very low salaries, coupled with high taxes of up to 40% of their earnings.

General Secretary of Zimbabwe Agricultural Professionals Association, Zivaishe Zhou says most workers are forced to supplement their salaries with side incomes such as selling vegetables, groceries or second-hand clothes. Opposition leaders believe the current administration has failed workers and are calling on government to bring back dignity to all employees.

However, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has commended workers and called on employers to improve the wages, salaries and welfare of their employees in line with the country’s growing economy.
