Anjin Investments Workers Strike Over Unpaid Salaries and Alleged Irregularities

Workers at Anjin Investments have initiated a strike, demanding the payment of four months of outstanding salaries and a thorough investigation into alleged irregularities within the company’s diamond sorting process.

The striking employees accuse management of overlooking internal procedural flaws that could potentially lead to the misappropriation of resources. They have also heavily criticized the company’s handling of a seriously ill employee, urging for increased accountability, transparency, and compassion from senior executives.

In a statement, Zimbabwe Diamond and Allied Minerals Workers Union (ZDAMWU) General Secretary Justice Chinhema articulated the workers’ grievances: “Our members are protesting against the blatant failure of Anjin Investments’ management to pay their salaries for the past four months, a suffering that is not just financial but deeply personal.”

Chinhema highlighted a tragic consequence of this alleged neglect: “This neglect has resulted in tragic consequences: a fellow worker… Clever Chiobvu, in dire need of medical assistance, was denied the necessary financial support to access hospital care and subsequently lost his life. This avoidable tragedy underscores the reckless disregard for worker welfare by the management.”
