‘Chiadzwa bosses flog, rape workers’

FORMER workers at Chiadzwa’s diamond mining firms have claimed rampant abuse of their rights, with some female workers saying they were raped by their foreign bosses mostly from India, China and Pakistan, while the males were assaulted.

The ex-workers raised the allegations in Parliament last Thursday when they appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth and Indigenisation.

Zimbabwe Diamond Miners’ Union president, Francis Matinyarare told the Justice Mayor Wadyajena-led committee that most rape cases were recorded at Diamond Mining Company (DMC).
