‘UK-based Zim caregivers being exploited’

SOME Zimbabwean caregivers in the United Kingdom (UK) are allegedly subjected to, among other ill-treatments, unfair labour practises such as working for long hours on poor wages and sacked from work if they complain to the UK Home Office.

NewsDay understands that the culprits involved include some Zimbabweans who were mandated by the Home Office to recruit caregivers from Zimbabwe.

The culprits are also reportedly charging an arm and leg for facilitating the caregivers’ entry into the UK, yet they are supposed to provide the service for free.
