Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30110, member: 2262"] Zimbabwe teachers said no to any plans that might cause trouble across the country. They want everyone to talk things out with officials instead of making a mess with protests. Zimta boss Akuneni Maphosa told reporters that talking works better than yelling when teachers need something fixed. "We signed up as a legal trade union because we believe in sitting down with the government," Maphosa explained during his interview. Zimta stays away from political games completely - they never jump into that arena. The teachers' group maintains a neutral stance toward those who run the country. Maphosa made it crystal clear that Zimta members won't show up for any March 31 protests. The teachers prefer solving problems through conversation rather than joining street demonstrations. They want changes but through proper channels that don't disrupt peace. [/QUOTE]
