 Hwange Mine workers wives have been protesting against the firm’s managing director, Thomas Makore, accusing him of being “greedy and selfish” and leading a lavish lifestyle while workers and their families were suffering.

Some of the placards read: “First Lady, why can’t you come and help us”; “Five years no pay, but going to work everyday”; “Enough is enough”; “Makore must pack his bags and go”.

Heavily-armed police officers and soldiers secured the company’s main offices to ensure the protesters did not break into the offices.
