Minister Monica Mutsvangwa hit up Allied Timbers Zimbabwe in Mutare during the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV event and basically said the country needs to stop losing people to violence, especially the digital kind that keeps getting worse. She gave props to the company for building better workplace reporting systems and stressed that preventing abuse needs to become standard business practice instead of an afterthought.
Allied Timbers board chair Keuemetsi Mupandawana told attendees that employees represent the most valuable asset the company has, and threats to their safety tank productivity whether the violence happens at home or online. The board rolled out zero-tolerance policies backed by confidential reporting channels and gender-sensitive oversight structures to actually enforce the rules instead of just talking about them.
