HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I WAS ONCE A TEACHER, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS

HON. MUNOCHINZWA: Thank you, Mr Speaker Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on the motion on debate on the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: First of all, I want to thank my political party, the MDC-T that found it prudent for me to represent Masvingo Province in this august House. I am going to deal first and foremost with the issue of the education sector with special reference to the teachers.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I was a teacher for a long time. I appreciate how difficulties it is for one to be a teacher. Mr. Speaker Sir, teachers require decent food for them to be able to perform their duties well. They want to be smartly dressed as this befits their status.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: You cannot in front of the classroom when you are not properly dressed.
Teachers would also want to receive meaningful pensions so that they live in their own houses which they will have constructed for themselves.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: There are a lot of things that are required Hon. Speaker Sir by teachers. It is my plea that the Government should do something in terms of alleviating the plight of the teachers’ salaries so that they can go to work and be able to perform their duties properly.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: If you are to look at what is happening these days, children are going to school but teachers are not teaching. Children are not learning and during lunchtime children go back to their homes, a day wasted for they will not have been taught anything.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I earlier on pointed out that I was a teacher for a long time; it pains me to witness this new trend of events. It is not easy for a teacher to be found teaching children at a beautiful school when their own children are not learning at those beautiful schools.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: It is good for a teacher to have their children at a good school where the parent is also teaching. That will encourage the teachers to do well because their children will be part and parcel of the student complement at that school.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I also want to talk about long distances that students are covering access education. They are walking long distances, kilometres such that upon arriving in classrooms, kids fall asleep & they wont be able to pay attention to what the teacher will be teaching.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA; It is our plea Hon. Speaker that since they get to the classroom already tired because of the long distances covered, we urge the Government to construct more schools so that the distance that will be covered by pupils becomes shorter.
HON. MUNOCHINZWA: Schools should be within stone’s throw away from the pupils’ homes. By so doing, we eradicate the issue of people getting to schools already tired and falling asleep in the classrooms. With those few words, I thank you.

MASHAKADA: YOU CANT CELEBRATE SURPLUS WHEN IN POVERTY

HON. TAPIWA MASHAKADA: Thank you Madam Speaker. I wish to first start by thanking the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Khupe who set the record and raised the bar as she delivered her maiden speech in response to the SONA.
HON. MASHAKADA: I think she raised very pertinent issues, some of which I will not touch on because I might messy the good work that she did especially her clear statement on sanctions and other policy measures.
HON. MASHAKADA: Madam Speaker, I want to touch on a few issues by way of complementing Government and these issues came out clearly when the SONA was being presented.
