Kahama. Workers at Tianpin Investment Management Ltd, a Chinese-owned gold mining company operating in Kahama District, Shinyanga Region, have asked the government to intervene over alleged labour rights violations and unsafe working conditions.
The complaints were raised before the Kahama District Security Committee during an inspection visit to the mine after a video circulated showing some workers allegedly collecting human waste in buckets and dumping it in an open area.
