Police in Mashonaland Central Province have discovered the remains of approximately seven people in a mine shaft at Elvingz Mine, located on Makalanga Farm in Mazowe.
Deputy provincial police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha told <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/remains-of-7-people-discovered-in-old-shaft/">The Herald</a> that the remains were found at the top of a mountain where open-cast mining is currently taking place, reaching depths of about 30 metres.
He said the mining operations at Elvingz Mine are linked with an old German shaft where the remains were located.
Sgt Major Chikasha said that debris removed from the shaft by an excavator included old torn black plastic, ragged clothing, damaged shoe heels, tattered blankets, suspected human bones, and human hair, as well as ten pairs of trousers in green, maroon, and brown colours. He said:
<blockquote>
Some trousers had human bones inside suggesting that a human body was thrown in the shaft intact.
The bones had lost shape due to decomposition. Black and white plastic papers were also in the shaft.
</blockquote>
Sgt Major Chikasha appealed to people with information that could assist in the investigation and identification of bodies to visit the nearest police station.
He said the remains will be sent to Parirenyatwa Hospital for forensic examination to establish the possible number of bodies, period of death and probable cause of death.
It is alleged that on August 31, 2024, at approximately 7:30 AM, Luckson Mufunga (35), Marshal Ngwenta (22), and Kimpton Geza (40), employees of Lingyong Zimbabwe, were contracted by Elvingz Mine to drill holes in preparation for blasting.
While assessing the shaft, Mufunga used an excavator to remove a heap of debris, which included plastic, torn clothing, and damaged shoe heels.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered what appeared to be dislodged human bones and hair. He promptly informed his coworkers, who confirmed the presence of the human remains.
Mine manager Webster Chikuku was notified, and a police report was filed. The following day, CID Bindura and forensic experts arrived at the scene to investigate further.

Four Chegutu Mine Accident Victims Identified

Members of Parliament across the political divide on Thursday demanded action to stop illegal gold mining in disused mine shafts in Kwekwe which threatens buildings in the Midlands city, reported <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mps-demand-action-over-kwekwe-sinkholes-from-illegal-mining/">ZimLive.com</a>.
In March, a Globe and Phoenix Primary School classroom caved in, resulting in 18 pupils being injured.
In May, House Number 1 Silver Oaks, also in Globe and Phoenix low-density suburb collapsed into an underground mine shaft.
Legislators who are members of the portfolio committee on mines and mining development accused the Government of doing nothing to stop the illegal mining activities.
Kwekwe Central MP Judith Tobaiwa (CCC), said:
<blockquote>
My worry is we have been hearing all these contributions from government departments; what have they done to resolve these issues?
Now there are mining activities along the Harare Road and also along Robert Mugabe Road.
</blockquote>
Mberengwa East MP Marko Raidza (ZANU PF) said:
<blockquote>
We are not hearing solutions and interventions that they are doing to arrest the situation.
We need firm commitment and activities to stop this illegal mining before a big disaster happens.
</blockquote>
Mutasa Central legislator Trevor Saruwaka (CCC), said:
<blockquote>
It looks like there is an umbilical cord to this madness. The challenge could be because political heavyweights are involved in illegal mining activities such that these government departments are failing to rein them in.
</blockquote>
Appearing before the committee, Midlands mining engineer Tapererwa Paskwavaviri acknowledged that there is a high number of sinkholes in Kwekwe. He said:
<blockquote>
There is a prevalence of sinkholes in Kwekwe which resulted in the damage of roads and buildings.
At the moment, if you go to the district coordinator’s offices, a number of buildings have large cracks in the walls.
The Kwekwe reservoir which is next to Globe and Phoenix is in danger as we speak and our fear is that if illegal mining continues around that area, the water tank can collapse and that will result in a disaster.
There is a danger that the tunnels could be extending towards the CBD (Central Business District).
</blockquote>
Mines and Mining Development Ministry permanent secretary <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Pfungwa_Kunaka">Pfungwa Kunaka</a> said the government is seized with the matter.
<blockquote>
We know that because of mining activity, the ground beneath Kwekwe is now weak.
The March 2023 collapse drew our attention as the entire government. The Kwekwe issue is being treated as an emergency situation.
This matter is now at the Cabinet level being addressed. On the outlook, it may appear like there is no progress.
</blockquote>
It also emerged that most mining towns across the country are at risk of caving in as a result of the effects of illegal mining being done in decommissioned and disused mines.

MPs Demand Action Over Kwekwe Mining Sinkholes Menace

The owner of a house that collapsed into an underground mine shaft in Kwekwe’s Globe and Phoenix suburb on Sunday says her family is now homeless following the incident.
Kimberly Rusike told <a href="https://zbcnews.co.zw/2023/06/01/kwekwe-house-collapses-into-a-mine-shaft/">ZBC News</a> that they have lived at House Number 1 Silver Oaks in Globe and Phoenix low-density suburb for the past 23 years.
She said it was their hope that the house would benefit generations to come. Said Rusike:
<blockquote>
The first problem happened sometime last year when part of the dining room collapsed.
We thought it was nothing major but as a safety precaution, we moved out after a relative offered accommodation in Newtown.
However, we left some valuables and tenants. On Sunday we were informed that a catastrophe had hit our property.
When we came to check, we realised that the whole kitchen and a toilet had sunk into a sinkhole.
It’s quite traumatising to imagine if we were still occupying the property and if the tenants were in the house at the time we could be telling a different story.
The house has since been decommissioned meaning we have been left with nothing.
</blockquote>
Cracks are visible over the block of flats at the Globe Court which houses over 200 people.
One of the residents who spoke to ZBC News said every other day they hear blasts underground as illegal gold panners break up rocks in search of the yellow metal. Said the resident:
<blockquote>
Every other day we hear blasts from underneath the surface as amakorokoza go about their business.
Windows and doors always shake as the blasts go on. We no longer know what to do anymore.
Imagine if all these flats were to collapse what would happen to us.
Living in this neighbourhood is now traumatic. The fear of waking up with no home is now a reality.
How can one survive knowing pretty well that there are mining activities underneath?
I appeal to authorities to put an end to all this madness.
As a resident, it is natural to live in fear. We have children who play outside and knowing that we are floating above some mineshafts is quite scary.
The most difficult times are when the illegal miners do their mine blasts which shake the whole yard.
</blockquote>
The house is located in the Globe and Phoenix area, the same area as the Globe and Phoenix Primary School, which also collapsed into a mining tunnel months ago.
A number of schoolchildren at Globe and Phoenix Primary were injured after a classroom block caved in while they were in class in March this year.
Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Larry Mavima said the Government is mulling a complete ban on mining activities in Kwekwe.

<blockquote>
The employees had only been here for three days, two of them died on the spot while the other two were discharged from the hospital, while only one is still receiving treatment at Mpilo Hospital.
</blockquote>
This was the first time that such an incident has happened at the mine, said Dowi.

Two Die As Huge Boulder Crashes Into Mineshaft

Two men from Zvishavane appeared in court last week on allegations that they killed a woman and threw her body into a disused mine shaft.
The duo identified as Tatenda Ngwenya (22) and Givemore Matumba (25), both from Chief Mazvihwa, reportedly assaulted Gladys Zembeti at her house on December 21 and threw her body into an abandoned mine. Zembeti succumbed from the injuries she sustained during the ordeal.
The duo is facing murder charges and was remanded in custody to Monday (today) Zvishavane resident magistrate Archie Wochiunga.
