ZANU PF youths yesterday slammed the shooting of two locals by a Chinese miner in Gweru and warned that the incident could trigger anarchy in the country.
Tendai Chirau, acting Zanu PF youth league boss, urged the authorities to be tough against abusive Chinese investors.
“The Zanu PF youth league strongly condemns the callous shooting of comrades Wendy Chikwaira (31) and Kennedy Tachiona (39) by a Chinese national, one Zhang Xuelin (a general manager) following a wage dispute at Reeden Mine, located some 25km out of Gweru.
The youth league is deeply concerned and perplexed with this flagrant disregard of existing dispute resolution mechanisms encapsulated in Zimbabwe’s labour laws in preference of barbaric law of the jungle tactics,” he said.
“Zimbabwe is a civilised, progressive, democratic nation and our youth league is deeply perturbed by such an inhuman act.
