Wives livid as Zimbabwe miners go years unpaidfrom NDABENI MLOTSHWA in Bulawayo, ZimbabweBULAWAYO, (CAJ News) – THE Zimbabwean High Court has ruled in favour of women protesting over non-payment of their husbands by the country’s biggest coal mine. The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed coal-miner wanted the High Court to grant an order compelling police, to assist in evicting the protesting women and their children from occupying the premises. The colliery, owned by government, sought police intervention claiming the spouses were disrupting the coal miner’s day to day operations. The high court has thus dealt the financially-strapped mine a double blow. The miners’ wives have since January been staging demonstrations at the mine situated more than 300 kilometres north of the second capital Bulawayo.
