Forty-seven (47) agents of the Tete Prison Guard Force have walked off the jobs to put pressure on the provincial government over a nine-month salary arrears claim.
Downing tools was their last alternative, numerous appeals having come to nothing.
Officers at Tete Penitentiary claim that if they push their concerns, they are threatened with being transferred to the remotest districts of the province as a form of punishment.
The aggrieved fifteenth grade prison guards, who graduated in 2015, now say that they will not return to their posts until the arrears they are owed appear in their bank accounts.
The provincial director of Tete Penitentiary Services, Francisco Da Silva Mathe, acknowledges the debt but blames the country’s economic crisis for the delay in payment.
Mathe said that both the central and provincial government was working on making the payments, but could not advance any firm date for a resolution.
