Journalists are among around 500 striking workers in Zimbabwe's state-owned press who are being threatened with dismissal, reports Dumisani Sigogo. Industrial action began August 2 as a sit-in over grievances around salary hikes, sexual harrassment, nepotism and mismanagement. Later in the week, the action developed into a full strike that has forced managers, interns, editors and supervisors to take over the jobs of journalists and production staff.
