Zambia threatens to shut shoprite after dismissal of 300 workers

Labour minister Fackson Shamenda told owners of shoprite on Thursday after the South African retailer fired 3000 workers who went on strike that they would cancel their trading licence if they continue with the dismissal.  they were given 10 days to negotiate and resolve the problem.
workers went on strike to demand higher pay and improved working conditions.
Zambia is the second largest shoprite outside South Africa.
