Zimbabwe’s Workers’ Compensation Scheme, established under the National Social Security Authority Act [Chapter 17:04] and S.I. 68/1990, provides a no-fault insurance system for employees injured, disabled, or killed in work-related accidents or due to occupational diseases. It replaces common law claims against employers, except where negligence or defective equipment is proven. Through legal cases such as Sibanda v Independence Gold Mining and Ncube v Wankie Colliery, the courts have reinforced the statutory framework that ensures financial protection for employees and their families. Employers are legally required to contribute to the Workers’ Compensation Fund administered by NSSA, ensuring dependable coverage and support.
