To the President Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa,
The Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe,
The Ministry of Mines and Mining Development,
The National Social Security Authority (NSSA),
and all responsible ministries,
We, the concerned citizens of Zimbabwe, bring to your attention the deplorable conditions faced by Zimbabwean mine workers in Chinese-owned mines. Despite repeated allegations, tangible action remains elusive.
The abuses are multifaceted:
- Underpayment*: Workers are denied fair compensation.
- Lack of protective gear*: Employees work without proper equipment.
- Unsafe working environments*: Hazardous conditions threaten lives.
- Looting of resources*: Zimbabwe's mineral wealth is exploited without benefit.
- Racism*: Discriminatory practices allegedly persist.
A specific example is Ming Chang Sino Africa, which has reportedly subjected workers to:
- Hazardous working conditions
- Inadequate protective gear
- Unfair labor practices
We urge immediate action:
1. Enforce labor laws and regulations.
2. Ensure fair compensation and safe conditions.
3. Conduct thorough investigations.
4. Prevent resource looting.
5. Address racism and promote equality.
We demand accountability and tangible solutions. Collective efforts are necessary to safeguard workers' welfare and national interests.
Sincerely,
Concerned citizen!Vanojairira ma China ndisamboita mutungamiriri wenyika all investors ndovaisa pasi pema ZimbabweansMikuku senge nane,
