We are a union of Zimbabwean educators practising our teaching trade in Western Cape, South Africa. We aim to cultivate a culture of professional behaviour and excellent, exemplary, impactful teaching among our members. We formed this union so that we can help Zimbabwean educators in Western Cape to get fair employment conditions including being remunerated by both the WCED and School Governing Bodies (SGBs) at the same rate, on time, as our South African counterparts. We recognise the unqualified significant role Zimbabwean educators have made in schools across the province which has led to the stabilisation of some subject departments and the concomitant increase in pass rates in summative examinations at the schools, colleges and universities where Zimbabwean teachers are employed.

We aim to continue making our contributions to the South African economy through paying tax and coaching students in our care so that they pass national examinations. We represent Zimbabwean educators and lecturers registered with both our union and SACE. We engage the RSA government on behalf of our members on issues of, inter alia, work permits, salaries, fair working conditions, recruitment and selection as well as training. As Zimbabwean educators, we also assist in the mentoring of student-teachers and the marking of national examinations.
