Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) has assured teachers in the country that government is working on addressing their grievances.

TUM general secretary Dennis Kalekeni said teachers and all civil servants should calm down and wait for the union to provide them with correct information regarding the issue of salary increment.

Kalekeni claimed that negotiations between the teachers’ body and government have been finalised and at the moment they are waiting for approval from the office of the president and cabinet (OPC).

“We urge all the civil servants and teachers to patiently wait as there is much anxiety at the moment as some figures circulating out there are incorrect hence the teachers should wait for us to release the correct information,” said Kalekeni.

He added that the civil servants will be told on their new salaries so the need for the teachers and civil servants to keep calm.

Earlier this month the teachers held nationwide protests after getting tired of government’s failure to meet the teachers’ demands.

The teachers’ grievances also included failure by government to pay them their arrears and government’s reluctance to provide transport for teachers who were transferred to rural areas.

  20. TUMU is a waste of space. These blotted bellies but hungry are benefiting more than those who are supposed to. Next time teachers will go for eternity without salaries

  23. Kkkkkk.. Teachers u need to understbnd that Government and TUM is a coin the other side. The only advice I can give to teahers is that use your time to grow some of the late coming salaries. If these produce fruits you wil not worry whether there is salary increment or not, whether the salary has come late or early, whether leavegrant….. To the infinity of problems. After all teachers we r living things we can adapt to environments b it social or economic environments. If u r sent to teach in Misuku hill you develop a bigger chest and more surface area to the lung to draw more of the deminishing oxygen as you go up. Anyway that is how God helps us to adapt. But you dont need a miracle from God to help your finances. Ok if u want go for miracle money and c what wil hapen to ur life.

    1. Kkkkkkkk……………..Sir Chizumira the Biologist,higher areas have small column of air so the same with teachers and we should adapt to such conditions.

  27. Mesa Ankati Ma Civil Servant Amalandila Chenje Nde Afuna Kuzakupasani Salary Yeni Yeni So What Is 15 Percent Increment? Is It Also Not Achenji Chabe? Dzuka Malawi!

  34. Sound funny. Because u are teachers then yo brain is now equivalent to the schook kids. U are being used like a condom or toilet paper. Wake up and smell coffee. Everything is up by 400% food, fees etc. They u choose to go with 0%. To me this dont make sense. Maybe i mis something here. Kaya zanu izo mimba imawawa mwini nakubala. Mudzikango kongola mumahawker. Or else #SHUT DOWN MALAWI WAVUNDA.
