REVIMO has suspended around 1,380 employee contracts due to recent unrest, accumulating 655 million Meticais in losses. The suspension affects both direct toll gate workers and those providing services. Currently, only four out of 16 toll plazas are operational, but REVIMO has assured affected workers received salaries through February 2023.
Following the recent post-election unrest, REVIMO has suspended the contracts of approximately 1,380 toll gate employees. This decision comes after the organization reported substantial financial losses amounting to 655 million Meticais due to damages sustained during the turmoil. Among those affected, 380 were direct employees at toll gates, while about a thousand provided auxiliary services to the concessionaire.
The suspension of contracts officially commenced on March 1st, reflecting the severe impact of the ongoing financial strain on REVIMO. Out of the 16 toll plazas managed by the organization across Mozambique, only four are currently operational. The decision to suspend contracts extends beyond direct toll gate workers; it also includes staff handling services such as surveillance and cleaning, totaling 1,004 individuals.
Despite the contract suspensions, REVIMO has ensured that all affected employees have received their salaries through February of this year. The management remains hopeful that, with the resolution of the underlying conflict, the suspended employees will eventually be reinstated to their positions.
In conclusion, the suspension of approximately 1,380 contracts by REVIMO reflects significant financial challenges exacerbated by recent unrest in Mozambique. With only a fraction of its toll plazas operational and ongoing losses, the organization has taken measures to mitigate its losses while still ensuring that affected employees received past salaries. Future reinstatement of these employees remains contingent upon resolving the disputes that led to these challenges.
