Diamond miners down tools

AT least 400 workers at Jinan Mining (Private) Limited, one of the diamond mining companies in Chiadzwa, have downed tools in protest over non-payment of salaries among other grievances.

Workers’ representative at the mine Francis Matinyarare confirmed the job action that began on Tuesday.

“It’s true, we are having some challenges here and I hope everything will be sorted out soon,” Matinyarare said.
