Workers Union Condemns Suspected Arson Attacks On NRZ Premises

The Zimbabwe Amalgamated Railway Workers Union (ZARWU) has strongly condemned the suspected arson attacks on National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) premises in Bulawayo and Harare.

According to NRZ, a fire on September 16, 2024, at the Bulawayo mechanical workshops destroyed 44 decommissioned passenger coaches. On September 18, three coaches were set ablaze at the Harare shunters’ complex.

In a statement released on Friday, September 20, ZARWU General Secretary Nhamo Bepete characterised the incidents as well-coordinated acts of arson. He said:

These two incidents appeared to be well-coordinated arson attacks on this national asset. It must be noted that for whatever reason these attacks are meant for, ZARWU condemns in the strongest terms such shameful, archaic and barbaric acts meant to harm our national asset. In fact, such retrogressive acts must not be allowed to take place in our lifetime, not again.

We strongly believe that these attacks are meant to water down the achievements that the NRZ Board and Management have made in their quest to recapitalise and modernise our Railway system.

Furthermore, the Railway Industry has been enjoying a generally peaceful environment under the stewardship of the General Manager Ms. R Zinyanduko who has from the time of her appointment utilised social dialogue with social partners to develop the Railways.

As workers, we want to re-affirm our resolve and commitment to protect this national asset which was created out of our forefathers’ blood and sweat.

Thousands of workers draw their livelihoods from NRZ and surely thousands of workers can not just stand aside and watch this existential threat to our livelihoods unfolding without taking appropriate lawful actions to assist the police in their investigations.

ZARWU has called on the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to intensify their investigations into the suspected arson incidents and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

First is the one who did a similar incident in the sixties and was convicted and given a death sentence, fortunately for him he escaped the gallows after being pardoned for being a juvenile. So police leave no stone unturned dambudzo rati tambudza iri.

concurred, it's the same way they destroyed the infrastructure of the blue train. they deployed their thugs who vandalised and stole all the electrical cables.

How.many workers are they representing as they sing praises for management that has reduced the numbers of workers? This union should be telling management that there are not enough workers now to keep the railway premises and properties clean from shrubs, bushes and overgrown grass in this fire season we are in. ordinary bottles or glass can concentrate the sun's heat to such a level that a fire can start on its own. The union should also be talking about the reduction of railway security personnel which has led to cables for the electric train and lengths of rail being stolen, even from the Harare Railway Station.
