Workers at Dangote Cement plant have gone on strike demanding better pay.
The workers who are paid between K800 and K1200 basic salaries also want Dangote to allow them to join labour unions, or create their own.
Dangote employees about 850 workers.
When he was campaigning in Ndola last week, president Edgar Lungu said that Dangote pays its workers very well. It seems the statement from Lungu has triggered the strikes as workers are annoyed by the statement by Lungu who is supposed to protect their interests.
COMMENTS
The CEO himself and other expatriates like Ismat and Victor are fold abusing zambians with insults and detaining zambians after 17 hours and they boast that the zambian government is in dangote’s pocket. Shamenda up to now is still very very fast asleep. Indians are not good people to work with and if the CEO is not careful he will find himself in hot soup. Saudi
Iwe Alibaba ulichikopo that’s why you can’t even spell Cadre correctly. Can’t you see that as you are busy waiting for your hakaivotele humwine your friends are busy building houses due to reduced cement by Dangote. We are better with Edgar my friend not tenderprenuers.
@CP which people are misleading Lungu?you dont know what you talking about my friend.Lungu is not a child okey,he is personally the one making up all these storie.There is no one feeding him wrong information,he is responsible for his own actions.He wanted to be president,he got it,and he must act like a president.But what do we see and hear?total crap,coming from the mouth of a president as tho it is a cadre speaking.So CP dont blame other people for his sins.He ll be hang onto the cross alone.He shd know this by now!

Watchdog is not a liar you are just an ignorant PF Cader just like your Lungu. The price of cement is cheap because Dangate pays the workers cheaply.
They have a good reason to strike because jctr measure is k5000 a family of 5 with such a salary its difficult to send a child to school,to acquire medicine to save lives,in short to say such kind of salary make somebody become slavery ku kaloba
The people around the president are misleading him with false information for them to continue eating as usual Cement is cheap at dangote how does he expect workers to be paid more than what the company is realizing. They have made him look disorganized they forced him to be on that seat, himself confessed to have had no vision for this country because they wanted to continue eating that is why they had him on the seat. Do you think all leaders who have left him are empty vessels. Ingombe illede you never grew up with you grand mother or father to read between lines when some one is talking do you think workers at dangote did not hear what the President said. Cement yes is cheap but how much does it cost for some to have 3 meals a day, him has made k23m already and it works out to be business as usual even if some poor people stay for days without food
ZWD,your readers are not fools
Your constant slanderous garbage is now just actually decampaigning your messiah.
LUNGU HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE ON ISSUES OF GOVERNANCE. LUNGU IS A SERIOUS DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY. HIS MOUTH DIARRHOEA CAN PUT OUR COUNTRY ON FIRE. HIS IS FOND OF MAKING NON-RESEARCHED STATEMENTS WHICH ALWAYS TURN OUT TO BE FAKE. DANGOTE WORKERS SHOULD MARCH TO STATE HOUSE AND BEAT UP LUNGU.
Edgar Lungu, the worst President Zambia has ever produced
Chicolor chakolwa ejigar always ni try and error wanya amatole yobe after 11 august direct to the prison.
Watchdogs you’re liars. Lungu didn’t say dangote workers are well paid. He said dangote has managed to bring down the price of cement. Ubufi mwenu won’t make your preferred candidate win. Pabwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato chabe.
Umulomo eukalya lungu.
