"ZCTU Alert
The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has learnt that the Treasurer of the Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ), Ladistous Zunde, has gone missing and the union is fearing for his life.
Mr Zunde has been in hiding since Friday 27 June 2008 after unknown people visited his home, tried to abduct his son and harassed his wife. The same visitors have been visiting his house on several occasions in three cars one of which has a registration number AAC 2022.
According to PTUZ, on Monday, 30 June 2008, the visitors became aggressive demanding access to Zunde’s house and sensing danger, the union decided that Zunde leave Harare. However since he left Harare in a bus, nothing has been heard about Zunde as his phone continue ringing without anyone answering.
The ZCTU is informed that other strange visitors in a Zanu PF car also visited PTUZ offices in Bulawayo, 400 km from Harare, looking for the union office secretary. Fortunately she was not in the office.
PTUZ has since closed its head office in Harare saying lives of its officers was in danger."
Such news indicates that the campaign against progressive forces in Zimbabwe has not stopped with the election of June 27th.
