A Midlands based environmental organisation, is reminding miners in the Great Dyke that they have a duty to employ environmentally safe mining methods such as reclamation of pits after conducting mining to ensure their activities do not impact negatively on the communities they operate in.
Midlands Natural Resources Agenda Trust, MINARA Director Gideon Magadzire said mining should be a blessing to communities through corporate social responsibility projects initiated by the miners.
Two teenage boys recently drowned in a chrome pit at Mapanzure area of Zvishavane in one of many cases of communities losing lives through adverse effects of mining activities.
