Ex-Wenela workers continue to engage SA

Former Wenela workers have continued to engage South Africa over terminal benefits and called for a memorandum of understanding between the South African government and Zimbabwe.

The former Wenela workers were exposed to harmful substances, which resulted in some of them contracting silicosis of their liver or tuberculosis during the time they worked at South African gold mines.

Ex-Wenela Miners Association of Zimbabwe president Lungelwe Mkhwananzi yesterday told NewsDay that they would be meeting South African authorities over their unclaimed
benefits.
