The State lawyers agreed to go back to work on Friday while their salary discrepancies with magistrates were being sorted.
Zimbabwe Law Officers Association president, Mr Leopold Mudisi, yesterday confirmed that prosecutors countrywide had returned to work.
“We are back at work and we have encouraged our members to work hard to cover up for the lost time. We have given our ministry two weeks to sort out the issue failure of which we will go back to the streets,” he said.
Prosecutors and law officers went on strike on Tuesday last week protesting against salary discrepancies between them and magistrates. However, in a letter addressed to the acting Justice and Legal Affairs secretary Mr Maxwell Ranga last Friday, ZILOA said the prosecutors decided to give the ministry an ultimatum of October 31 to solve their salary concerns. ZILOA said the ministry should continue engaging stakeholders as agreed in the meeting and by October 31, payments should be reflecting or concrete proof of intention and commitment to pay.
The Public Service Commission accused the prosecutors of being insincere about their salaries.
