Work Accident Insurance and Prevention in Southern Africa: The Case of Zimbabwe

Edwin Kaseke and Matthew Ncube

International Social Security Review, 2003, vol. 56, issue 3‐4, 87-100

Abstract: The paper uses Zimbabwe as a case study to depict the situation in southern Africa with respect to work accident insurance and prevention, provided by workers' compensation schemes which are among the earliest forms of social security to be introduced in the region. There has been an unfortunate tendency to concentrate on compensation issues at the expense of prevention initiatives. Zimbabwe, however, has attempted to integrate the two, notwithstanding the fact that the coverage of the scheme is narrow and the benefits inadequate.
