Workers at the Anjin diamond operation in Chiadzwa stopped work because they had not been paid for four months and were unhappy with conditions. Their union also raised concerns about how diamonds were being sorted. The company denied there had been a strike and said workers had only asked to meet management. The union said one worker died after being unable to pay for medical care, which shows how wage arrears can turn into a safety issue.

No figure for the number of striking workers was reported

Union confirmed the stoppage but company spokesperson Special Matarirano denied a strike took place, so accounts conflict.

Workers collectively withdraw labour, work to rule or take other protest action, or a formal notice of such action is served.

Evidence required: A named union or worker group, the dates of the action or the notice, and the stated demands, from the union itself or an established publication.
