Revimo has suspended around 1,380 employee contracts due to financial losses of 655 million Meticais resulting from post-election violence. The suspension includes both direct workers and service providers, starting March 1st. Only four out of sixteen toll plazas are operational, though all affected workers received salaries through February, with hopes for reinstatement once conflicts are resolved.
Revimo, the managing institution of toll gates in Mozambique, has suspended approximately 1,380 employee contracts due to financial losses linked to post-election unrest. The suspension affects both direct workers at vandalized facilities and service providers. It began on March 1st, as Revimo reported losses amounting to 655 million Meticais.
Out of the suspended contracts, 380 were for employees directly working at the four operational toll gates out of the original sixteen managed nationwide. The additional suspended contracts, totaling 1004, pertain to ancillary services including surveillance, cleaning, and picketing, indicating a broad impact on Revimo’s operational capacity.
Despite these suspensions, Revimo has confirmed that all affected employees have received salaries up to February. The company anticipates that, upon resolution of the unrest, these workers may be reinstated.
The suspension of contracts by Revimo highlights the significant impact of political unrest on employment within the toll management sector in Mozambique. With ongoing losses and limited operations, the future of these positions remains uncertain, contingent upon conflict resolution. Revimo’s commitment to paying salaries underscores its effort to support its workers during this challenging period.
