S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) challenged Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube to explain the 760,000 jobs promised under the National Development Strategy 1. The labour body noted that the 2026 budget omitted these employment targets, even as unemployment and informal work rise. ZCTU urged the government to adopt pro-employment budgeting to ensure economic growth creates decent, formal jobs instead of precarious livelihoods.
