The Zimbabwe Peace Project has claimed that poverty levels are escalating in Hwange as Hwange Colliery workers have gone for two years without full pay.
The organisation said food situation remained critical.
"Incidents of partisan distribution were on the increase. Poverty levels in Hwange and the resultant social ills persisted as the workers have now gone for two years without salaries," ZPP reported.
"Colliery workers are now in conflict with their Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) counterparts whom they accuse of taking their spouses as the ZESA workers have money."
The ZPP said on a positive note the Zambezi River gained significant inflows and people in Binga are now catching more fish for sale and their own consumption.
"Lupane District saw continued increase in numbers of suspected Central Intelligence Operatives," reported ZPP.
