ZCTU General Council Overturns Suspension of Secretary General Tirivanhu Marimo

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) General Council overturned the suspension of Secretary General Tirivanhu Marimo. The council ruled that the National Executive Committee (NEC) acted outside its constitutional mandate when it suspended him. This decision followed an Extraordinary General Council meeting convened to resolve a bitter leadership dispute that has fractured Zimbabwe's largest labor federation. The internal power struggle threatened to paralyze the union's advocacy efforts during a period of intense economic instability. The core vulnerability lies in the deep constitutional and political divisions that continue to undermine ZCTU's organizational unity.
