Public anger is rising in Zimbabwe over alleged abuses by Chinese-owned mining companies. They are accused of environmental destruction, corruption, and human rights violations. A viral video showing digging near Redcliff’s Cactus Port Dam intensified criticism. Activists are warning of poisoned water, damaged farmland, and destroyed ecosystems. Civil society groups say many Chinese operations bypass regulations and lack accountability, fueling concerns that Zimbabwe’s resources are being exploited with little benefit to local communities.
