A CHINESE national, Zhang Xuelin, has been arrested after
he reportedly shot and injured two of his employees in Gweru over a salary
dispute.
In a statement, the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe yesterday
said they were concerned about the 41-year-old’s actions.
“We are highly concerned about the case in which a Chinese
employee of a private Chinese company near Gweru shot and injured a local employee
due to a wage dispute yesterday (Sunday). Although this is an isolated incident
and the embassy has no law enforcement authority over the enterprise, we firmly
support Zimbabwe’s law enforcement agencies to transparently and openly
investigate and handle the case in accordance with the law of Zimbabwe,” the
embassy said.
It added: “Any possible illegal acts and persons who
violate the law should not be shielded. China and Zimbabwe have long-standing
friendship and cooperation. We call upon all relevant sides to safeguard it
jealously and carefully”
