The embattled government which has been having troubles in paying its staff has announced civil service pay dates for September.

Government announced the dates at the National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting on Friday.

According to the payment schedule, members of the Zimbabwe National Army and Air Force of Zimbabwe will be paid on September 20. Those in the health sector will receive their salaries on September 23, while the police and the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services will be paid on September 27.

After the health sector and the security forces have been paid, next to receive their salaries will be the civil servants in the Education sector on October 3. The rest of the civil servants will be paid on October 6 while pensioners will receive their payments on October 10 and grant aided institutions on October 13.

Zimbabwe Teachers Association (Zimta) chief executive officer Mr Sifiso Ndlovu expressed disappointment on the pay dates announced by the Government, saying the dates indicate that there is no hope of the Government workers being paid early by their employer.

"These dates leave us wondering if the Government will be able to pay us in the coming months," said Mr Ndlovu.

The Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, Prisca Mupfumira, on Friday appealed to pensioners to be patient as the Government was putting in place mechanisms to ensure they were also paid on time.
