VERIFICATION
Zoomlion Ghana Limited is a private waste management company based in Ghana, founded in 2006 and part of the Jospong Group. It provides services such as waste collection, sanitation, and recycling, and operates in several African countries. Although it works closely with government agencies through public-private partnerships, it is not government-owned.
According to reports on April 8, 2026. Zoomlion Ghana Limited and Geo Pomona Waste Management (Pvt) Ltd. of Zimbabwe signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening waste management systems through a strategic partnership between the two countries. The agreement was signed at Peduase Lodge in Accra in the presence of senior government officials and private sector representatives from both countries.
This is not the Ghana government as a country sending workers to Zimbabwe. The MoU was signed between Zoomlion Ghana Limited and Geo Pomona Waste Management (Pvt) Ltd, showing a strategic partnership between two private companies. The partnership between the two companies is expected to facilitate the transfer of equipment, technology, and expertise to support improved sanitation systems in Harare, with the broader goal of promoting a circular economy and creating sustainable jobs.
CONCLUSION
The claim that Ghana is sending private waste company, Zoomlion workers to Zimbabwe is MISLEADING. There is a recently signed MOU partnership between Zoomlion Ghana Limited and Zimbabwe’s Geo Pomona Waste Management. However, there is no government-led deployment of workers to Zimbabwe.
