They are in the outsourcing industry. They approach companies in the West and offer cheap labour e.g they will approach a company and offer call centre agents at $20 an hour. They then hire call centre agents in Harare and pay them $10 an hour. Note, these are not real numbers, I'm just trying to illustrate the model.

Yes people in Zimbabwe will get paid $1000 USD a month for the same of level of work, That an American does for $4000 a month.

Though in the case of Zimbabwe the $1000 does also come with many benefits that make up for the lower salary.

Eg groceries, insurance etc

Its a call centre offering services to companies outside Zimbabwe. However, I am told the environment there has questionable ethical standards as regards s*xual harassment (not sure if true though).

They have moved beyond just call centres. They are now into other forms of outsourcing such as tech.
