Chinese miners slamed for engaging into illegal mining


Chinese miners have been expose for entering into illegal mining deals  at the same time contravening the country’s indigenisation laws.They are being reported for using devious methods to venture into the chrome industry. Of the seven Chinese miners that have been approached, only one confidently admitted that they had acquired the claims through the proper channels.

They have also bee reported for lacking respect for traditional authority and disregarded the cultural values and practices of the areas they operated from.At one of the Chinese-owned mines, Sanhei, workers were alleged to have complained of labour abuses such as low pay and long working hours.They were also said to be violating the country’s Indigenisation and Empowerment Act, as they are the majority shareholders in theese companies.
Similar complaints have been raised in other fields such as the diamond sector and retail.
Youth, Indigenisation and Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere who enforces the indigenisation law has not spoken out against the Chinese’s violation of the law, choosing instead to lash out mainly at white-owned businesses.
Can we trust such people and solely bank on them for reviving our economy,,what do you think? Lets discuss
