Zivhu Slams “Abusive Treatment Of Workers By Chinese”

By A Correspondent Former Chivi South legislator Killer Zivhu (ZANU PF) has raised concerns about the treatment of Black workers by Chinese employers in Zimbabwe, claiming that white employers are more respectful of Black employees. Zivhu took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a troubling account of how his cousin, employed as a driver for a Chinese employer, is treated. Zivhu said he was “appalled” by the conditions his cousin faces, alleging that he is forced to sleep in his car and prepare meals in Bulawayo, which he then carries with him to Harare, where he eats them over a three-day period.

Meanwhile, Zivhu claims, his cousin’s Chinese bosses enjoy the luxury of hotel accommodations and fine dining. Zivhu expressed his outrage, writing: “Appalled by Chinese nationals’ treatment of Blacks in Zimbabwe! My cousin, a driver, sleeps in cars while they enjoy hotels. Cooks his meals in Bulawayo kuti agozodya ku Harare for 3 days, while they dine lavishly.

White people show more dignity towards Blacks than Chinese.” The former legislator’s comments have sparked debate about the treatment of Black employees in Zimbabwe, particularly in relation to Chinese business practices..
