An ultimatum issued by striking Zimbabwean civil servants expired on Friday without a response from the government in the four-week-old industrial action.
Civil servants now earning between $100 and $250 are demanding a base salary of $630. They insist that the government could afford the increase if it tapped the revenues from Marange district diamonds.
Public Service Association Executive Secretary Emmanuel Tichareva told VOA Studio 7 reporter Patience Rusere that the Apex Council representing public employees will meet early next week to review the situation and strategize.
