Zoomlion workers caught on camera subjecting young man to corporal punishment
A disturbing video circulating on social media shows workers of Zoomlion Ghana Limited meting out corporal punishment to a young man in Kasoa. The incident occurred earlier today, with the workers forcing the young man to kneel while carrying a wooden wheelbarrow as punishment for dropping a pack of refuse on the pavement along the road.
The video shows the young man, whose identity has not been disclosed, kneeling on the ground with a wooden wheelbarrow balanced on his shoulder.
Social media users are outraged by the video, with many calling out Zoomlion for its excessive and abusive behavior. “This is ridiculous and abusive! Is Zoomlion a judicial body? Since when is punishment their mandate?” asked one user. Another user pointed out the hypocrisy of Zoomlion’s actions, saying “Has Zoomlion placed dustbins along the stretch where they have a scheduled collection time?”
Some users, however, defended Zoomlion’s actions, calling it a “good initiative” and hoping it would apply to everyone, not just a select few. Others suggested alternative punishments, such as making the young man clean the entire area, rather than simply kneeling with a wheelbarrow.
Many users also pointed out the larger issue of waste management in the area, with one user saying “There are a lot of rubbish within that same area that he can clear off.” Another user highlighted the irony of Zoomlion’s actions, saying “It’s not the best of punishments, but when you wake up at dawn and you are leaving for town you’ll see heaps of refuse on the hard part of the road right under the overpass (international road) – major culprits, ‘one tyre’ guys and market women encroaching the roadside.”
The incident has sparked a heated debate about waste management, punishment, and the role of private companies in enforcing public discipline. Zoomlion Ghana Limited has yet to comment on the incident.
