Govt warns Zimbabweans against overseas jobs

Home Affairs Minister, Ignatius Chombo has warned Zimbabweans to be wary of people who offer them overseas jobs as they may end up being victims of human trafficking.

Responding in Parliament recently on the measures being taken by Government against human trafficking, Chombo appealed to legislators to let his ministry know if there is anyone making false job adverts. He also urged Members of Parliament to educate people in their constituencies. He said if a recruiting agent asks for money it is wise for one to report such a person to the police.

Last year Zimbabwe had over 200 women stranded in Kuwait after they were lured into believing they will get good jobs on arrival.
