Diamond mining company fails to pay employees

Chinese owned mining company Anjin Investments (Pvt) Ltd has attributed its failure to pay workers' salaries on the sharp drop in alluvial diamond deposits in the Marange area.

This came out during a no holds barred meeting between the company's top management and Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandiitawepi Chimene and mining companies at her Mutare offices on Monday.

Anjin spokesperson Patrick Mukanga said the company was facing serious financial challenges as alluvial diamond deposits had become scarce. He said the company was now working tirelessly to pay off the outstanding salaries.
