SOME Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe retrenchees yesterday gathered at the bank along Samora Machel Avenue demanding their outstanding packages. A group of about 20 former workers of the central bank said they had not been paid since December

2011.
Deputy chairman of the retrenches Mr Arthur Chipato said they wanted to know when they will be paid.
He said they met the police who advised them to arrange a meeting with the bank management rather than being confrontational.

“We will be writing to the bank requesting for a meeting so that they can tell us when we will be getting our outstanding packages,” Mr Chipato said.
The workers left the bank when police who were called to the bank advised them to meet senior police officers.

Failure to comply, the police threatened to call a reaction team. Mr Chipato said they wanted the central bank to tell them when they should expect their payments.
“We wanted human resources or the Governor (Dr Gideon Gono) to tell us when we are going to be paid our outstanding packages. Schools are opening next week, we need school fees for our children.
“It has been difficult for us because we were last paid in December last year,” Mr Chipato said.
