Zimbabweans urged not to mine in disused shafts after SA mine explosion kills at least 29

Zimbabwe Consul-General in South Africa Mr. Batiraishe Mukonoweshuro has urged Zimbabwean citizens to stay away from disused mines in South Africa. This follows an explosion at a mine in South Africa which killed at least 29 illegal miners. Zimbabweans are suspected to be among the dead.

Said Mukonoweshuro:

It’s a combination of the blast plus the suffocation from the blast because of the gases. So my understanding is that they are suspecting that these people are from three nationalities, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe,

So far they have removed 29 bodies and managed to rescue 11 people…

It’s so unfortunate that the Zimbabweans continue to take risks in these disused mines in trying to eke a living. Unfortunately, these scenarios always play out and no one knows how to stop them. There is a debate in the country on how they can stop it and in this incident, the mine was actually sealed but they blew it open
