Zimbabwe's Missing Doctor Alive, But Strike Continues

Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE - A leader of the ongoing doctors strike in Zimbabwe has
   re-emerged, nearly a week after his reported abduction, and striking
   medical staff have renewed their push for higher salaries to cope with
   Zimbabwe's soaring inflation.

   Late Thursday, Peter Gabriel Mugombeyi, acting president of the
   Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, confirmed to VOA's Zimbabwe
   service that his abductors had released him.

   He said he had some generalized body pain which he could not explain.
   He added that he could not recall much of what happened during his
   detention.
