Inelastic scattering of excitons on LO phonons in ZnTe based bulk semimagnetic semiconductors with low concentration of paramagnetic ions (Mn^{2+}, Fe^{2+} and Cr^{2+}) was studied. A polarization degree of the LO phonon Raman lines was measured as a function of the exciton splitting in a magnetic field, and allowed us to determine the polarization lifetime (polariton flight time). A similar method was used to investigate multiple Mn^{2+} spin-flip scattering in CdMnTe quantum well. The cascade model seems to be not adequate to interpret the dependence of the polarization degree on the order of scattering.
