Several Makorokoza (illegal gold panners) are feared dead after a Shurugwi mine shaft they were working in collapsed. Some illegal miners who were at the scene said the mine, Wanderer Mine, had given them a warning about the weaknesses in the structure and they had left before the collapse. They said however that some miners may still be trapped inside.
Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Senator Larry Mavhima said a team of experts is on the ground to ascertain the cause of the mine collapse.
