Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE - Zimbabwe, like other African countries, is trying'¯a'¯phased
   re-opening of schools after closing in March due to COVID-19.

   But'¯many teachers like 33-year-old Munyaradzi Masiyiwa are refusing to
   return to class, pointing to low pay and unsafe conditions.

   Masiyiwa said he makes more money selling brooms than teaching at
   Cranborne Boys Government High School in Harare.
