    Zimbabwe’s former army chief Constantino Chiwenga has fired more than 15,000 nurses. They went on strike on Monday demanding the payment of allowances and protesting over new pay grades. Read more: https://bbc.in/2Ha3cHE pic.twitter.com/EmIMJzw9cd

        People died like chickens, Prgnant women suffered because mid wives were striking why do they wear white uniforms when they have no heart. To Zimbabwean Nurses, money is precious than there profession so firing should teach them a lesson. Let those who are passionate be employed.

        Its also kind of hard to be passionate when you are struggling to feed your children and out them through school. Its difficult to mantain the passion when you are forced to work under such conditions(no stethoscopes, no gloves, oxygen tanks?)

        One word that defines a medical practitioner is a HEART. None of what you have brought fourth here has been mentioned in the article. Its saying the Nurses were paid on Monday but they had not returned to work.

        That's an estimate cause some nurses are on leave some are on night duties.

        But how do nurses work in a hospital that doesn't even have functional stethoscopes? Don't get me started on oxygen tanks. Now they get fired for demanding a change in working conditions and a raise? Come Zimbabwe, do better!

        He is not a stupid man, how do you justify people asking for $70/hr allowance in this economy. Given something and they still insist on 70. Come on! Money doesn't grow on tree like Theresa May would say.
