Karakadzai died in a car accident last week near Shangani Mine. NRZ workers who spoke on condition of anonymity accused the late general manager of running down the parastatal.
“There was no way I was going to attend Karakadzai’s burial on an empty stomach. I have not been paid for a month,” said one of the workers.
“When we ask for our money, we are told that the company does not have money. Where has all this money come from to hire transport to the funeral? Never in the history of NRZ have workers and their families suffered as much as they have under the leadership of Karakadzai,” said another worker.
About four years ago, police arrested a state media journalist after she wrote an article alleging that Karakadzai addressed workers with a gun on the table.
Speaking at his burial at the weekend President Robert Mugabe defended the appointment of retired soldiers to public institutions.
“We are a militarised party so it must not come as a surprise that we assign people from the military to run public institutions,” said Mugabe.

Congratulations to all Railway employees that participated in this boycott.Those that have had the opportunity to be in attendance at some of Karakadzai’s meetings will acknowledge how much disrespect of the Railway worker he used to display without remorse. A message has been sent to the relevant authorities. Unfortunately you are dealing with a leadership with no conscience.
Once a Railwaymen always one.
We are a militarised party so it must not come as a surprise that we assign people from the military to run public institutions,†said Mugabe.
