The Association of University Teachers (AUT), the union representing the lecturers, subsequently obtained a High Court order barring police interference with their peaceful demonstrations.
In a notice issued to the police, the AUT announced that picketing would take place on Thursday, April 24, and Friday, April 25, between 9 AM and 2 PM at the university’s Churchill Avenue and Mount Pleasant main entrances.
The union stated that no teaching would occur during this period.
The lecturers are demanding a significant increase in their salaries, seeking a minimum of US$2,500 per month for junior lecturers.
This figure represents the salary level they reportedly earned prior to October 2018, before a substantial reduction to the current US$230.
AUT legal advisor Munyaradzi Gwisai condemned the situation as a “clear heist robbery” of their labor, highlighting the drastic reduction in salaries since 2018.
