The Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa (ACT-SA) has condemned the illegal alluvial gold riverbed mining activities taking place at MaDollar dam in the Sessombi area of Zhombe, Kwekwe, disguised as dam scooping, allegedly protected by law enforcement and local authorities.
In a statement, the ACT-SA chairperson Alouis Munyaradzi Chaumba said his organisation and its officials have been threatened by an organised crime syndicate involved in the activities for exposing their illegal mining activities. <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/outrage-over-illegal-alluvial-gold-mining-syndicate-polluting-dams-chinese-chief-and-politicians-fingered-in-unholy-confluence-of-corruption/">Said Chaumba</a>:
<blockquote>
This unholy confluence of corruption, patronage, and state-sanctioned impunity has effectively rendered the illegal mining activities immune to any form of legal consequence, thus perpetuating a cycle of exploitation and injustice that shows no signs of abating.
In an audacious display of audacity and intimidation, Chief Gwesela, a member of the MaDollar dam syndicate and a traditional leader in the region, issued ominous threats against the ACT-SA regional director through WhatsApp.
Despite the gravity of these threats, the Zimbabwe Republic Police, operating out of the Kwekwe Central Police Station, refused to accept a report of the incident from the ACT-SA director, a blatant violation of their duty to uphold the law and ensure the safety of citizens.
</blockquote>
ACT-SA has demanded that all those implicated in illegal alluvial riverbed mining should be held accountable for their actions. Said Chaumba:
<blockquote>
Members of the syndicate conducting these illegal alluvial riverbed mining activities should be held accountable for their actions.
The participation of the Zibagwe Rural District Council’s chief executive officer and Hardrock Mine should be probed, especially on the circumstances that led to the granting of the dam scooping authorisation that appears to have no applicant.
It should also be in the public interest to expose the high profile politically exposed individual or individuals who are alleged to be part of the syndicate and providing protection to all those on the ground.
It is alleged that the syndicate members are openly telling people that they will not stop the illegal mining activities because of the backing that they enjoy from some individuals who have political muscles.
</blockquote>
The ACT-SA report has been shared with several government agencies, including the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and the Office of the President, calling for an immediate investigation into a syndicate involved in illegal alluvial riverbed mining.
ACT-SA has demanded urgent action from authorities to investigate the issuance of dam scooping authorizations, halt illegal mining, confiscate equipment, and hold perpetrators accountable.
The organisation also called for compensation for affected farmers and accountability for those abusing their power in this matter.
It urged the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA) and other authorities to thoroughly investigate the involvement of Chinese parties in these illegal activities.

An organization called ACT-SA is angry about people mining for gold illegally at a dam in Zimbabwe. The group says the mining is polluting the dam and harming the environment. They are mad that some powerful people are protecting the illegal miners. The organization has asked for an investigation into the illegal mining and for the people involved to be punished. They want the government to take action to stop the illegal activities, confiscate equipment, and help the farmers affected. The group also wants to know if Chinese people are involved in the illegal mining.

ACT-SA Condemns Illegal Gold Mining At MaDollar Dam Disguised As Scooping

Chief Weight Gwesela of Zhombe said that Rio Tinto High School teacher Fanuel Mwale (57), was most likely killed for ritual purposes.
Mwale’s body was found with missing eyes, ears and nose, and his head was skinned with a sharp object, according to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP). Police said:
<blockquote>
Police in Kwekwe are appealing for information which may assist in the investigation of a case of murder in which a teacher at Rio Tinto High School, Zhombe, Fanuel Mwale (57) was found dead on 19/01/24 along an unnamed gravel road near Joel Business Centre.
The body was found with missing eyes, ears and nose. The head was skinned with an unknown sharp object.
The victim was last seen on 18/01/24 at around 1600 hours after knocking off duty.
Anyone with information to report at any nearest Police Station.
</blockquote>
Chief Gwesela told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/grisly-murder-teacher-killed-face-skinned-eyes-and-ears-cut-off/">Chronicle</a> that there is a strong suspicion that the murder was ritualistic. He said:
<blockquote>
This is unheard of, we have never witnessed such a thing in this community. We can only suspect that this was for ritual purposes.
</blockquote>
A ritual murder refers to the intentional act of taking a person’s life as part of a religious, spiritual, or ceremonial practice.
In Zimbabwe, one of the high-profile ritual killings was that of Tapiwa Makore who was murdered by his uncle and his herdsman to boost a cabbage business.

Zhombe Man Critically Injured In Revenge Attack

A man from Zhombe spent three months in jail after his 16-year-old daughter lied that he had raped her.
The father was set free on Wednesday when the matter was discharged at the close of the State case.
During cross-examination, the man’s daughter told the court that she had lied about the alleged abuse at the instigation of her mother who wanted to fix him.
The accused (whose name cannot be revealed to protect the identity of the girl), appeared before Gokwe regional magistrate Lungile Ncube facing one count of rape. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Prosecutor Melissa Makombe told the court that the complainant is from Mnidwa Village, Chief Malisa in Zhombe and she is a form two pupil at a local school.
On 26 July, at around 11 AM at their homestead, the daughter was at home with her father since her mother had gone to the garden.

It was further alleged that the accused person pressed the complainant to the floor and raped her once.
The girl’s mother suddenly returned home, went to her bedroom, and caught the accused person red-handed raping his daughter, it was alleged.
The complainant’s mother reported the matter to the police before the complainant was escorted to the hospital for a medical examination. | <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/man-spends-3-months-in-prison-after-daughter-frames-him-for-rape/">The Herald</a>

What is worrying is these girls will be working for as little as a dollar or even a plate of sadza.
It is happening as people are facing hunger. So, they will be trying to make quick money thereby risking their lives.
The situation is bad in Zhombe and it has pushed many girls into prostitution and early marriages. The situation is forcing girls to turn to immorality.
As you are aware this is a gold-rich area and the illegal gold panners are now taking advantage to lure the young girls with money.

We have Joel Growth Point in our ward where child prostitution is rife.

Kwekwe General Hospital Stuck With Corpse Of Victim Of Mob Justice

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has reported that four unknown machete-wielding assailants pounced on a gold mine in Zhombe and got away with 8kgs of pregnant carbon. 
In a report seen by Pindula News, ZRP said the suspects attacked and injured the security guards at the mine. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The ZRP is investigating a murder case which occurred in Zhombe on 09/11/22 at around 0300 hours, where four unknown suspects who were armed with axes and machetes pounced at the mine and struck two security guards, Obert Moyo (56) and Herbert Zimbe (47), with axes before stealing 8kgs of pregnant carbon. The two victims sustained severe injuries and were rushed to Kwekwe General Hospital. Obert Moyo was pronounced dead upon arrival.
</blockquote>
In the gold industry, activated carbon is used to recover gold from the gold-cyanide complex also known as the cyanide process. It is a technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.
In January this year, ZRP arrested a man who was found in possession of 05 x 50kg sacks of pregnant carbons which were suspected to have been stolen from Gwanda, a gold mining town in Matabeleland South.
Meanwhile, ZRP Saruwe arrested Prosper Rocque Samanyanga (38) and Hardlife Chitsuro (32) on 09/11/22 for a case of unlawful entry into premises and theft, which occurred at Frenchoeck Farm on 04/11/22. 
It is alleged that the duo broke into a complainant’s storeroom and stole an ATA motorcycle. Police have since recovered the cycle, which had been sold in Darwendale.
