[*]Zero stationery, toner, fuel, water, or electricity exists.
[*]School inspectors are desk-bound with nowhere to go.
[*]Some staffers just stopped showing up entirely.
[/LIST]
BSPZ workers caught in a financial freeze
[LIST]
[*]Better Schools Programme Zimbabwe accounts got frozen by the Treasury.
[*]Alleged fund abuse by education officers triggered that move.

[*]Parent payments are basically keeping administrative functions alive.
[/LIST]
