Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Workers at Zambia Mineral Processing Plant (ZMPP) in Shibuyunji district have staged a protest for non-payment of salaries for the past 14 months. The over 36 employees protested in front of the company premises demanding for wages which have not been honoured.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the workers, Rajesh Hamukule complained that the company has been promising to pay wages but has failed. Mr Hamukule said the workers are failing to care for their families because of non-payment of salaries.<\/p>\n

Shibuyunji District Commissioner Alfred Shaputu, who expressed concern, indicated that government will not tolerate any infringement of workers\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

Mr Shaputu assured the workers when he visited the company that the district administration will engage management to find a solution to the problem. And Zambia Minerals Processing Plant Manager Raymond Hills said the company is working towards addressing the challenge.<\/p>\n
