One of the country's leading gold producers Falcon Gold Zimbabwe, owners of Dalny Mine in Chegutu, has filed an urgent chamber application in the High Court after its employees allegedly threatened to take over the mine.
The 18 employees, cited as respondents in the matter, are alleged to have been interfering with mining activities and influencing other workers to embark on industrial action over salary disputes.
The employees have since been suspended and disciplinary proceedings against them have been instituted by the mining authorities.
Meanwhile, Falcon Gold Zimbabwe, one of the country's leading gold producers, has applied for High Court order to bar employees from grabbing its Dalny Mine.
In an urgent chamber application, Falgold is citing Mullasios Sakala and 17 others as respondents.
The court heard that respondents (former employees and those that are currently on suspension) stormed the mine, in Chakari-175kmb southeast of Harare, on February 23 this year and disrupted work, after preventing other employees from performing their duties at the mine.
The listed company said actions of the 18 employees would result in the firm suffering financially, and that it would end up failing to pay its workers or sustain operations.
