200 Workers At Chinese Mine Use Bush Toilets, Sleep In Shacks

Approximately 200 workers employed at the Chinese-operated Jojo Mine near Kwekwe are reportedly living in deplorable conditions, with many residing in makeshift shacks and using the surrounding bushes as improvised toilet facilities, while their Chinese supervisors enjoy the comforts of a plush enclosure nearby.

The workers told The Mirror that they are not provided with any form of protective clothing by the mine management, and they also face a severe lack of clean water for domestic use.

Midlands Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Owen Ncube recently toured the mines, which are owned by Ming Chang Sino Africa Mining Investment.

Although he did not visit the living quarters of the workers, Ncube directed the mine management to address the issue of decent accommodation and living conditions for the employees. Said Ncube:

It is unacceptable for workers to stay under deplorable conditions like this. There is overcrowding, no decent accommodation, no ablution and no medical facilities. Failure to provide safety clothing and ill-treatment of workers is unacceptable.

An employee who declined to be named for fear of reprisal told The Mirror:

These Chinese treat us like slaves. We live under inhumane conditions with no toilets, water and houses. We stay in plastic shacks when they stay in plush houses.

Our health is at risk, they don’t give us protective clothing but instead, they sell the safety shoes and work suits that we should use at work.

In response, the administrative manager and assistant director for the company, Eric Yan Bo, said that the company was actively working to address the issues surrounding the deplorable living conditions of the workers. He said:

We are very sorry about the accommodation. The issue is we are short of houses but the company is working towards evicting some illegal miners staying in the company houses.

Yan Bo said Ming Chang Sino operates three mines in Kwekwe which are Bell, Jojo and Indarama with a total staff complement of 700 workers.

Chung that's why there's so much oppression in Zimbabwe. It doesn't mean they don't want to work but working conditions are very poor. Nzwiraiwo vamwe vanhu tsitsi. What's wrong with Zimbos nxaaaa

These are businessmen. They are here to make money. If they can take advantage of a weak system and make more at the expense of the monkeys they employ they will. It is govt responsibility to whip every employer to follow labour laws and regulations. The chinese in other civilised places do not behave like that bcause govt s there are effective. The chinese are simply taking advantage of the BANANA republic ways of doing things. You cannot blame them if you have logic instead of emotion. Why play by the rules where there are no rules.

if Owen Mudha Ncube cares about his brothers he should have ordered the mine to close then concentrate on these critical issues. On the political side we're being forced to follow countries laws diligently but on these issues those incharge don't give a f.u.c.k
