President Emmerson Mnangagwa is signing a bill into law on Tuesday that outlaws organized protests by healthcare workers.

The new legislation comes after a protracted battle over salaries. Thousands of nurses and doctors at state-run hospitals went on strike last year, and indeed in previous years, demanding a hefty raise and wages in U.S. dollars. That was due to a slide in the local currency and steep inflation that eroded the value of their earnings.

Nurse, Pretty Gudza, says, “I cannot pay my rent, I cannot eat, so the situation is bad and our cause is justified.”The southern African country has seen an exodus of nurses and doctors that has left hospitals understaffed.
