Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC) security
manager for Chiadzwa Mine, Mr Benjamin Chinyanga has resigned just a day before
the commencement of his disciplinary hearing. The resignation follows a spate
of security breaches at the mine.
Mr Chinyanga who is understood to have been on suspension
since March 20 this year, is said to have tendered his letter on the of 16 April 2019.
Contacted for comment by Great Dyke New24, ZCDC
spokesperson Mr Sugar Chagonda could neither deny nor confirm the resignation
of Mr Chinyanga saying the company is set to curb all diamond leakages in line
with their zero tolerance to corruption.
“The state diamond miner will leave no stone unturned when
it comes to curbing all forms of leakages and pilferage of the precious stones
in line with our zero tolerance to corruption policy and our quest to become a
world class diamond producer,” he said.
The state-owned company in January fired 80 of its
employees, many of them suspected of involvement in diamond ore looting at
Chiadzwa.
A breach of security occurred in December 2018 followed by
another one in January 2019 with the latest having been recorded in March
resulting in the arrest and prosecution of four people who are before the
courts.
