The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has learnt with great shock and sadness on the passing on of Comrade Lovemore Matombo, on 27 January 2020.
Comrade Matombo, a former ZCTU President, and also President of CASWUZ was President of the ZCTU until the 2011 Congress.

THE Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) is greatly disturbed by the government’s lack of seriousness in resolving its dispute with the striking doctors. The continued strike by the doctors is causing untold suffering and unnecessary death of ordinary Zimbabweans as the strike has paralyzed operations at state-run hospitals.
